The @ is just a stand in for the zone name of the file.  For example if the
file is db.foo.com and the /etc/named.conf file has the entry 

zone "foo.com" {
        type master;
        file "db.foo.com";
};

then wherever there is a @ in the file it will be expanded to foo.com since
that is the zone name in the config file.
