In my assembly course we wrote intel 3/4/586 assembly. It was all about Syntax and Registers. Why pointers will be there in an Assembly course?

mainly just, "how to deference the address you just got to get the value you want." Might be covered under the "syntax" heading as well, but the concept was still gone over for those that hadn't quite grokked it yet.
