The DataFormat property is actually a StdDataFormat object, which contains a
Format property containing a formatting string.
"The Format property supports the same set of format expressions as the Format
function", says the help file.
And yes, this is meant to be a format for displaying the data, usually used to
format numeric or date fields.
