Yeah as has been said I think clearly in the setting the Force exists but I don't know that the points do. To my mind Force use is more like a skill check in that we see new practitioners struggling to do things (think: Luke trying to pull his lightsabre when trapped by the wampa) while experienced practitioners seem to be able to do things quite casually. We do sometimes see force users come up against some sort of point of power exhaustion (think: Palpatine vs Mace Windu, although I'm not sure how much of this is a bluff) but it's quite rare.
I'm guessing you're thinking of Force Points from a different SW RPG (to be fair, there are a lot). In the WEG D6 version, Force points are usable by any character - even those that aren't Force sensitive. And characters typically have very few of them, like 1 or 2. Using one allows you to double the number of d6 dice used in a roll.
They are a character resource that anyone can use to draw on the Force. And they follow Force rules; using them for good is good, using them for bad stuff gets you tainted with the Dark Side. In that regard, they are clearly an in-universe thing.
But they are also metacurrency on a few levels. For example, the are awarded/renewed at the end of an "adventure", not off of any in-world time reference . And you gain them by doing heroic things at the climax of an adventure, when it is "dramatically appropriate" or when "success is vital to the story".
I guess the take away from this is that in WEG Star Wars, the Force is aware of the fourth wall.
