Is
Using the @code{-var-create} (@pxref{-var-list-children}) command
the right texinfo way to do a reference?

It meant to be:
the same way as for the @code{-var-create} command:
Revised patch attached. In addition to the changes you've suggested, I've
reworded the first paragraph to more explicitly document that -var-list
tries to return previously-created varobjs, as Nick and I discussed.
OK?

+Returns all variable objects of the specified kind, creating them
