Could you explain this to me?

I am rather new to VB, so for me it's a bit hard to understand it sometimes. I have a code to check if Word is running:
Function IsWordApp() As Boolean
On Error GoTo PROC_WordCOPY
Set mvarWordApp = GetObject(, "Word.Application")
PROC_EXIT:
mvarWordApp.Visible = True
IsWordApp = True
Exit Function
PROC_WordCOPY:
MsgBox "Word is running!"
On Error GoTo PROC_NOWord
Set mvarWordApp = New Word.Application 'here smth.'s wrong
Resume PROC_EXIT
PROC_NOWord:
MsgBox "Word is not installed on this computer"
IsWordApp = False
End Function

I don't understand how it checks if Word is running. As I see it, it will always be false. Could you explain, please? And what's the difference if I check different application?
