It's the time taken to get full response from an upstream server,
not just time to first byte. It doesn't take into account
anything related to sending the response to the client, though it
should be kept in mind that in some cases a client can delay
reading a response from an upstream server, see
http://nginx.org/r/proxy_buffering.

If you want something similar to TTFB, take a look at
$upstream_header_time.
