Correct. allow is a directive to tcpserver to ALLOW connect. RELAYCLIENT is
an environment variable set by tcpserver which signals to the inner server
(in this case qmail-smtpd) that relaying is OK.
This could be further used for other stuff if different other environment
variables should be set for the different connected clients depending on ip
and/or net.
