Sounds like an awning loop. Used to open your awning. Look for s loop of fabric near the middle of the awning.
Also handy as a fire poker.
Yes that is the Awning Rod NOW if you have power awnings you wont have that loop but with manuals it is used to Flip the latch then you hook the loop of fabric and pull it down,
(On autonmatic electric awnings you will have the "Strap" in your owner's manual bag or should have. for when the Motor fails. Read the instruction manual)
