I think the answer to your question is that the variable is sent to the mirror, so yes, a mirror will receive the flag. However, they appear to have gone to great lengths to avoid leaking any identifiable information. See this link:

That's correct. The flag is only sent with a metalink or mirrorlink request, which is, in case of Fedora, done centrally to the mirrors.fedoraproject.org (so called MirrorManager) server. The subsequent requests for the repodata itself sent to a specific mirror won't include that flag.
Another correction - turns out I didn't read Stan's reply carefully; he says it's sent to a mirror, however that's not the case :) It's just the MirrorManager instance that receives it.
