Could be, but see below: using LANG is a fallback.

There are several ways of doing that.
First, you can customize the variable ispell-dictionary to name the
dictionary (without the .aff or .dic extensions, just the stem of the
basename, as in "en_GB"). You can set this in your ~/.emacs. This
will cause ispell.el to invoke Hunspell with the appropriate -d
command-line option.
Alternatively, you can set the environment variable DICTIONARY to name
the dictionary, as in "set DICTIONARY=en_GB". This environment
variable is documented in the Hunspell man page.
If neither -d is used nor DICTIONARY variable is found in the
environment, Hunspell checks LC_ALL, LC_MESSAGES, and LANG variables,
in that order. LANG is already set by Emacs when it starts; you could
theoretically use one of the other two, but I don't recommend that,
again because they have specific meaning for locale-sensitive APIs,
and so other programs might react to them in ways you won't like.
