Is App OnStart unique per user?

I think the answer is yes but I want to clarify something about App OnStart . Is this run uniquely for each user? I'm building a form based on a SharePoint list and I'm struggling with how to set variables for each time a either a new row is added or an existing row is selected to edit. But one thing I need to be sure of is if put something like below into the App OnStart, will that only affect the current user or will it affect anyone who works with the SharePoint list? I want to make sure that when I capture these variables they are unique for each user who starts working on the list.

Set(varUserSurname, Office365Users.MyProfile().Surname);
Set(varUserEmail, User().Email);

You guessed it...Yes! Each app runs under the context of the user using it. There is nothing shared between apps unless it is persisted in a datasource.

I hope this is helpful for you.
