student = students[i];

Does this line of code within the for loop, run through and insert each key value pair from the array of students into the variable student? -- Which can then be accessed each time using the dot notation.

It doesn't exactly "insert" anything, but you do have the right idea. This line makes "student" refer to one specific object in the "students" array, based on the current loop index. You can then use a membership operation (dot or bracket notation) to access the attributes within it.
