You're right. He was probably more looking for

 (insert (buffer-file-name))

,------------------
| buffer-file-name is a built-in function.
| (buffer-file-name &optional BUFFER)
| 
| Return name of file BUFFER is visiting, or nil if none.
| No argument or nil as argument means use the current buffer.
