Thats the fill LEVEL bolt.
Bottom = drain
Side (in the quotes) = fill LEVEL check bolt
Top (under starter) = fill plug.

I don't know if it's the same with your tranny, but I was able to fill mine by removing the VSS and filling through that hole. Much easier that way.

Yes.. You remove the fill level check bolt and when fluid runs out of the check bolt then its full.. I just fill from the check bolt and wait until fluid runs out.. I find its eaiser to fill from there.. But still reaches the same outcome either way..

The fill bolt is under the starter and is harder than hell to get off because it is such a shallow bolt. The check level bolt is near the pass axle and is way easier to take off. You just have to rig up a funnel with a long hose to fill it. Like everyone else is saying, u get the same result by using either one.
