Yes, that helps very much. I understand how it is applied now. You said that "Well, in COM_siteHeader() you'll see a call to set_var('welcome_msg', $someStringVariable)", but what file is this defined in? Is this an individual theme thing or is this defined somewhere for the entire layout section reguardless of the theme? Sorry if I am not getting it?

The code is responsible for replacing those variables with the appropriate dynamic HTML output. So, for example, in header.thtml you see {welcome_msg}. Well, in COM_siteHeader() you'll see a call to set_var('welcome_msg', $someStringVariable). It's that code that actually replaces what you see.
