var means Variant, it can store almost any datatype.

Godot's core types used C language standard C99, such as uint8_t,uint32_t,int64_t, etc.

And, including C99 datatype, Variant type can store those list below:

Container type: Vector List Set Map
String
StringName
Math types: Vector...
NodePath
RID

So, var i meaning i can be int, uint8, String, Vector2i ... except for you specify a type explicitly, or use type inferred symbol :=.

var integer: int = 99
var another := 99
###### below one will cause error: 
###### Parse Error: Value of type "String" cannot be assigned to a variable of type "int".
another = "pine"
