Of course.
> ispell-local-dictionary is that.
Likewise auto-hscroll-mode, compilation-disable-input,
compilation-error-regexp-alist, emacs-lisp-mode-hook, ffap-inhibit-ffap-flag,
font-lock-verbose, line-move-ignore-invisible, lisp-indent-function,
mode-line-format, search-whitespace-regexp, transient-mark-mode,
truncate-lines,...
And those are just those that grep shows in my own code.
Grep the vanilla sources if you want to see more.

Yes, for some definition of "work".

Maybe the shown help text should explain this? Something like this
could be added:
"Customizing this variable changes the global value which is the
default for new buffers."

Looking at that part of the code and at an ancient ispell.el I had here,
the case of `ispell-local-dictionary' seems to be a reminiscence
from ancient times, kept for backwards compatibility with people's .emacs
files and with ancient docs.
Seems that global change should now be done by customizing
`ispell-dictionary' (noticed now when looking at the code, I recently
wrongly suggested jidanni to use `ispell-local-dictionary' rather than
`ispell-dictionary'). It was previously a defvar and was at some time
changed to a defcustom.
