Yes. \1 is a regEx internal back reference containing everything matched
in the first group (/test/.+)

So assuming a request of /test/index.html (=value of $1) from 
http://example.com/test/index.html (referer), the TestString
(left) is
http://example.com/test/index.html<>/test/index.html

The regEx '(/test/.+)<' would match '/test/index.html<' and capture the 
part '/test/index.html' in a back reference. Now the pattern matches the 
 > from the TestString followed by the value of the first back reference 
from within that regEx, which is '/test/index.html'.

So http://example.com/test/index.html<>/test/index.html (testString) 
would match against the pattern /test/index.html<>/test/index.html, the 
RegEx-Engine returns true. The result is now negated in mod_rewrite by 
the exclamation mark resulting in false which would abort this RewriteRule.
