You might check it with a multi-meter, but it's likely, as woods and trikermuthr said, a direct connection to your battery. So it's both yes to your original question.

not looking like any heated gear plugs I have been around but could be. I would think it is more likely a battery connection. If you can get to your battery you will see the connection there...

I tested with a multi-meter, it's a direct connection to the battery. I guess I can use it for my USB connector (it has a SAE connector on the other side) but it looks like the polarity is reversed!? I don't want to damage my cell... I should probably follow the wires to the battery and see how they are connected.
It looks like an addon to my Spyder but I'm surprised since previous owner did not make any modification...!
