Thanks to Lex Li, Seems like Configuration Editor generates scripts automatically before savings. This has lead me to getting the final PS script to be:

Add-WebConfigurationProperty -pspath 'MACHINE/WEBROOT/APPHOST/WEBSITENAME'  -filter "system.webServer/aspNetCore/environmentVariables" -name "." -value @{name='EnvironmentVariableName';value='EnvironmentVariableValue'}
