Yes, on this step you must create these new variables. Three variables need to 
be created, the first
two are User variables:
- PYTHONPATH 
- PYTHONHOME
These must be created in that same portion you took a screenshot of by hitting 
the "New..." button,
setting the name to PYTHONHOME and then setting the location to something like:
 C:\Users\[username]\miniconda3
Some goes for PYTHONPATH, but you set that to:
 C:\Users\[username]\miniconda3\Lib

The third variable is a System variable called JAVA_HOME, which you add by 
selecting the "New..." 
button in the bottom half of that window and then entering the following path:
 C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_181

These steps can be found in our tutorial video at the 3:13 mark:

Please let me know if that answers your question.
Thanks!
