Its job in the formula

t is part of the quantity the equation computes from the expression on the right.

The passage around this formula

All of θ\theta here is shared and randomly initialised at t=0 , and no term is held fixed while another is optimised. That is the formal content of “native”: contrast it with the modular recipe, where the vision and language terms are each minimised separately, over separate data, to convergence, long before the two are ever combined.

A variable is a named place for a value. Its letter is a local label: x can mean position in one formula and a data point in another.
