How is variables.gradle generated?

Hello,

I currently have this variables.gradle file generated when I perform npx cap add android

ext {
    minSdkVersion = 22
    compileSdkVersion = 33
    targetSdkVersion = 33
    androidxActivityVersion = '1.7.0'
    androidxAppCompatVersion = '1.6.1'
    androidxCoordinatorLayoutVersion = '1.2.0'
    androidxCoreVersion = '1.10.0'
    androidxFragmentVersion = '1.5.6'
    coreSplashScreenVersion = '1.0.0'
    androidxWebkitVersion = '1.6.1'
    junitVersion = '4.13.2'
    androidxJunitVersion = '1.1.5'
    androidxEspressoCoreVersion = '3.5.1'
    cordovaAndroidVersion = '10.1.1'
}

But for example I am using these two capacitor plugins @capacitor/Push-Notifications and @capacitor/Camera in which they have a section variables where it says that it will use these in the variables.gradle:

    firebaseMessagingVersion = '23.3.1'
    androidxExifInterfaceVersion='1.3.6'
    androidxMaterialVersion='1.10.0'

My question is that are these variables supposed to be generated automatically if you’re using the plugin or I need to add it on my own? Or are these variables optional where you defined to select the version you want to use, and if not used, i will use the default?
