yes, this statement references both a variable name/identifier and an object type, both of which are 'CallLog'.

Dim [identifier] As [object type]

so...

Dim CallLog As CallLog

dimensions a new variable, names it CallLog, and creates it as a CallLog object. the confusion comes in when variable identifiers use the same name as their object type, as java will allow you to do.

if youre not sure what CallLog is or does, see here
