No, that's not true. There's a difference between having them in the  
same file, and having them in the variable. You can have a variable  
drone = {music} and a variable pipes = {music} in the same file. And  
then your score has \new Staff <<\drone \pipes>> or not.

Again, there's a difference between a "variable" and a "voice".
