App Engine provides a way to set the current “namespace”. Is this a way to be able to easily reference variables, and thus not always have to insert database lookups in one’s code?

Not quite.
Namespacing is useful when you have an appengine app that you want to deploy to serve discrete groups data. You can read more about it here.
With namespacing, you partition your appengine app’s stuff (datastore, memcache, and taskqueue) into a bunch of separate groups where data, row keys, tasks, etc, don’t cross-contaminate or have name/key collisions.
