>It means 100% of the phenotypic variation depends on genes, which is quite different.

I think this is what I was trying to say, but let me restate it to make sure I am on the right track. 100 heritability implies variation in trait amongst a population is wholly accounted for by variation in genetics of population and there is no correlation between variation in environment causing additional variation in traits.

Correct.

>and there is no correlation between variation in environment causing additional variation in traits.

I would phrase it as "environmental variation does not cause additional variation in the trait".
