What does a line of code like this do? 

if ("$MY_VARIABLE" == "some_string") ...

Is that just how csh interprets variables as strings for comparison and assignment?

The quotes mean that the variable will be expanded as a single argument with spaces intact, rather than broken into multiple pieces at whitespace.
