on your main OS.

No on your host OS.

The reason you set the environment variable on your host system is for 
persisting your changes to the repos on your host OS.  

For example if you run 
docker-compose run --rm dev 

and exit the container then the changes you made to the repo will persist, 
even though the container is remove opencog_dev_run_1 is removed.

If you don't use docker-compose and are using docker run directly then you 
could configure your setup however you like, the setting of the environment 
variables are not required.
