is the absolute value of `plink2.eigenvec.var` from `plink2 --pca biallelic-var-wts approx` a measure of how much each SNP drives PCS?

I am trying to figure out which SNPs have the largest influence on sample separation This link seems to suggest that I can take the absolute value of *.eigenvec.var. Would the numeric value for each PC be the SNP that contributes the most to sample separation in that PC?

Thanks
