Indeed. It's a wrapper for bindtextdomain(), which is a bit mysterious in  
PHP documentation as well:

http://php.net/bindtextdomain

In practice it sets filename of .po/.mo file (domain "foo" would read  
translations from "foo.mo").

If you're implementing your own translation service, you can use it for  
whatever you want.
