If someone from Chile starts out an email by saying, "Hola karambola, como estas?" is he using karambola as a term of endearment? And is he using it in the sense of starfruit or cannon?

It's a words play. "Carambola" means nothing in the sentence and it's there just because it rhymes with "hola". He's just asking how are you.
