Yes, Mr. Brownstone is a "what" and that "what" is heroin.

yup yup - most definitely about heroin
The song's lyrics were written by Izzy Stradlin, while the music was composed by Izzy and Slash. The song is all about the effects of heroin, for which brownstone is a slang term; this is clearly reflected in the lyrics:
We've been dancin' with Mr. Brownstone
He's been knockin', he won't leave me alone
"Dancin' with Mr. Brownstone" would obviously imply heroin use, with the latter phrase "He won't leave me alone" likely referring to increased use or dependence. This is even more clearly supported by another passage from the chorus:
I used to do a little but the little wouldn't do, so the little got more and more.
