This is fine as it's an improvement over what's there, but two totally insignificant suggestions to consider:

  • Put a period at the end of the comment as it's a full sentence.
  • Maybe instead of "not defined", it should be "undeclared" or even "non-existent"? Those are the terms I see used in the MDN article on ReferenceError, so might as well steal from them. (I looked in the spec too but I don't think the language there would be helpful here, at least not as far as I saw.)

  • for the period I've added it
  • I think not defined will be closer to the error thrown which will be ReferenceError: z is not defined.

(The period isn't showing up in the GitHub interface. Do you need to push or force-push to your origin maybe?)
