No, it is for all versions of Rev, and is intended as a place to put 
third party plugins so they will appear in the Rev IDE. The reason for 
this is that if you actually put the third party plugins into the 
plugins folder next to the Rev app, when they send out an upgrade, 
you'd have to move them from the "old" Rev to the new one. Having a 
folder outside of the Rev app area allows you to not have to go through 
this rigamarole, but Rev doesn't create this folder for you - you have 
to do it yourself based on the version of Rev you own; in your case 
it's "My Revolution Studio"; in my case it's "My Revolution Enterprise".
