Yes.

How does one do that and what is the difference between a host and a
hostname in this context?
I'm used to using a socks proxy with Firefox and you just need to set 3
variables in about:config:
network.proxy.socks localhost
network.proxy.socks_port 8080
network.proxy.type 1

Yes, a ssh tunnel acts as a socks proxy.

Sending web traffic through the ssh tunnel.
Setting these variables as the phablet user on the command line doesn't
appear to work:
gsettings set org.gnome.system.proxy mode 'manual'
gsettings set org.gnome.system.proxy.socks host 'localhost'
gsettings set org.gnome.system.proxy.socks port '8080'
gsettings list-recursively org.gnome.system.proxy
gsettings list-recursively org.gnome.system.proxy | grep 'socks\|mode'
org.gnome.system.proxy mode 'none'
org.gnome.system.proxy.socks host ''
org.gnome.system.proxy.socks port 0
All the best
