JavaScript is a prototypal language. Everything is an object, so an instance is simply shorthand for saying an instance of an object, and any instance of an object is also a variable (either global, local, or member). Even functions are objects, hence also variables (i.e. function doSomething() is simply a variable called doSomething that is a Function object).

I think you're talking about the instance of a Class, yes? If that is true then...
Think of a Class as a blueprint. Objects can be created from that blueprint, but then can be modified to meet a specific need or a desired design. This Object is known as an instance of the Class.
An object variable is a reference to an object, not the Object itself.
I hope this helps.
