It's called by the main agent driving code, when a request
is received for a MIB object within the interfaces tree.

If you want to follow the flow of control, it basically
starts with 'handle_snmp_packet' (in snmp_agent.c), then
netsnmp_handle_request, netsnmp_handle_pdu, handle_var_requests
which calls the relevant handler chain.
  In the case of the traditional interfaces.c code, this
ends up invoking the 'old_api' helper, which calls the
var_ifEntry routine.

That sounds about right, yes.
