Yes, it is a bunch of JAR Files and other resources like DLLs. In Jenkins Remoting agents are lightweight libraries (slave.jar), which do not contain much logic OOTB. This cache is required in order to save remoting data and to avoid high classloading traffic every time your agent connects to the master and executes builds.
Currently Jenkins core enforces FileSystem JAR cache in remoting though Remoting can probably work without it. If you want to have such mode, feel free to submit issue in JIRA. Pull requests will be also appreciated.
