Isn’t that the spacer/bushing that goes in the back of the pumpkin, which is exposed once the wheel is off?

I think I have at least two posts on here saying basically "I found this on the floor after working on my bike, can someone tell me what it is?", usually followed by me smacking myself in the forehead and making the Homer Simpson "D'Oh" sound.....
