Yes, that is an inline barrel adjuster. You can also adjust it there.

That is a barrel adjuster, you just have to make sure it grips the housing properly.

The same thing as the one at the derailleur, just with this one you can adjust while you ride.
For a cleaner look you can remove it if and when you replace the housing.

Some rear derailleurs don’t have barrel adjusters, which is why the inline ones exist. You happen to have both.

Putting an inline barrel adjuster there has another big advantage: it makes it so on a bike with full-length housing you can replace the part of the housing most likely to get gunked up — the rear part — without having to re-wrap your bars. Just replace it from the barrel adjuster back.

Sometimes it’s nice to be able to index the shifting on the fly (while you’re riding your bike) cuz in the end that’s what matters

For some time on a new bike, I couldn’t get the rear indexing right. Finally, I realized my cable disks also had a barrel adjuster, the twisting of which did little for my indexing issue.
