Yes, it is a macro defined in platforms/Cross/vm/sqMemoryAccess.h

If implemented as a C function, it can be written like this (translated
from the MemoryAccess package in the VMMaker repository, which is a
slang implementation of the sqMemoryAccess.h macros):

/*	Answer the object memory word, an sqInt, located at an object memory location.
	In the original 32-bit object memory implemention, word size was equivalent
	to C type long. For 64-bit object memory, the method name may be misleading
	because the sqInt value is of C type long long. */

static sqInt longAt(sqInt oop) {
	return ((sqInt) ((((sqInt *) ((sqMemoryBase) + oop)))[0]));
}
