Not exactly. Yes, it's the other way around when you're talking about _mounting_ the partition at the mount point. However, you can certainly talk about putting /var on a partition, to refers to putting the subtree of file and directories rooted at /var on that partition (or to causing that to happen, by assigning the (initial empty) directory /var to a partition by saying to mount that partition at /var (and then have the installer populate it)).
