Yep, that is b/c of the refractive index of different media, specifically air, plastic and glass. Airplane windows are even more likely for this to occur b/c light waves go through air, then through plastic, and then again through glass back to air into your eye. Hence 'floaters' will be amplified. I'm no specialist, and have had this occured to me as well. I've never really thought of it much. However, with all the bending of light, this may overload the optic nerve, as a virtue of very active rods and cones firing. Why it gives the odd cellular shape is beyond me.  May have to do with some sort of distortion of light w/in the vitreous humour (liquid w/in the eye).
