Yes, it's true, Snart is secretly a nerd. Not as nerdy as Ray or Nate but there are two scenes that draw attention to the fact that he does have some nerd tendencies.
The first is a scene in the first episode of Legends of Tomorrow. It's when he, Sara and Mick are returning from the bar and interrupt Chronos' attack and Snart calls Chronos, 'Boba Fett'.
Now it's not a surprise that Snart has seen Star Wars. He would have been a child when the movies were released and they likely were a big deal to him since he was a kid and it was Star Wars. Therefore Snart being familiar with the main characters wouldn't have been a surprise, instead however he mentioned Boba Fett, who while popular among Star Wars fans, maybe has 5 minutes of screen time between two movies. It's a reference that a casual fan of the movies wouldn't necessary know.
At the very least Star Wars was something important to Snart during his childhood. It's possible he had one of thedolls action figures and remembered the name from there.
But there's more than just the Star Wars reference.
In a Season 3 episode of the Flash (when Barry pulls Snart from the timeline), Snart makes a reference to watching Shark Week aboard the Waverider. He didn't just watch Shark Week, he memorized facts involving great white sharks.
He also had dinosaur pajamas as a kid.
And is smart enough to figure out complex security systems within seconds.
So yeah, Snart a bit of a nerd in addition to be a cool, snarky, cocky bastard.
