No, please read this as

This can also be a list with cons cells of regular expressions (that
are matched against file names) and values.

So each cons cell has a regular expression in the car.  The
cdr is the value that org-reverse-note-order should have in
files matched by that regular expression.

Anyway, you will be much better off by switching to org-capture
which has more capabilities and fine-grained per-template
control.
