No, it sets the password for the superuser (the one that is needed to run createrole)

I don't think this can be specified with createuser, but you could use psql to run a single statememt.
Something like:
psql -c "create role new_role with password 'new_roles_password'"
(You might need to play around with the quoting)
The environment variables are then used to establish the connection to the correct Postgres instance.
