Does @synchronized(self) create a block where the self prefix is unecessary on properties?

I have read something in some foreign code and I want to check my assumption:

@synchronized(self) is used to get rid of the self prefix when setting a property.

So in my example below, I'm setting the strText of the instance, not just a local variable, right?

- (void)myfunction{
    NSString * strText = @"var in function";
    @synchronized(self)
    {
         strText = @"var class (self.strText)";
    }

}
