Nope. The double quote indicates a string. See the man page.

man gpg | grep quote nor man gpgconf | grep quote does not tell anything about it. I recognized the single opening quote of "string at post processing the output of gpgconf --list-options to generate a gpgconf.conf template. I just expected a closing quote for "string".

Excuse me you are right of course. man gpgconf | grep quot says it all.

value This is the optional value for the option. It is a per-
cent escaped string with a single quotation mark to indi-
cate a string. The quotation mark is only required to
distinguish between no value specified and an empty
string.
