It can have tons of different meanings. You need to specify what kind of variables you're talking about.

It seems perfectly obvious me that he's referring to the ability to make custom variables through modding, to make modding easier.

You may also know these as switches, flags, booleans, INTs, short/longs and so on.

EU3 has numerical variables? Even if so, I'm pretty sure you can't so math with them...
Yes it does. As I said, "they are fairly limited" i.e. incrementing and decrementing which gives you the ability to party like it's 1939.
