That's correct: the variable is only used by org-insert-link. Capture
uses org-store-link which stores an absolute link.

Since you can initiate a capture from an arbitrary location in the file
system and store the capture in some other arbitrary location, it would
be a bit more difficult to use anything but absolute links (and things
like symbolic links might make it quite a bit more difficult). It
probably could be done, but I'm not sure it's worth it.
