This does not belong in MdePkg. What is wrong with keeping it in
StandaloneMmPkg?

I think 'dummy' is a misnomer here. They are NULL protocols in the
sense that only their presence is signifcant, and the protocol does
not have an implementation. But this is true for traditional MM as
well.

Can we replace all of this with a single call to
InstallMultipleProtocolInterfaces() please?

Better use DXE_DRIVER here

This looks slightly inconsistent, but it actually matches what
MdeModulePkg/Universal/Variable/RuntimeDxe/VariableSmm.inf does.
So perhaps you could add the same annotation here as well:
[Protocols]
gEfiSmmVariableProtocolGuid ## PRODUCES
[Guids]
gSmmVariableWriteGuid ## PRODUCES
## GUID # Install protocol
