I'm just going through this bit of the book as well. The way I understand it is this. If you look back over the code in the moveshape.cs you will see that the InsertTestShape() function returns a reference to the 3d object/shape that the function creates. So... the line...

$tt = Inserttestshape();

makes a global variable called $tt, equal to that shape. I think its a handle to the shape which represents the number of the object you've just created, i.e. 1388.

That help at all.
