Essentially, a variable is a name which represents a value, typically, some piece of useful, information: wherever you use the name, that particular piece of data is targeted. In one, context, a variable is like an abbreviation or acronym: "Whenever I say docNew, I mean, the new document that I have just created". However, the great thing about variables is, that the values and elements they represent can be constantly altered and manipulated: by your code, by user action or by the InDesign environment. It all depends on the nature of the values, information or object assigned to the variable.
