Is this a typo?

First, you must load Tramp in order to declare its variables:

(require 'tramp)

Usually, it is done by the autoloader when you access a remote host,
but you want to customize Tramp before.

Then, you have quoted the list, which is wrong. You must write

(add-to-list 'tramp-default-proxies-alist
             (list "MyMachineName" nil "/socks:IPsocks#1080:"))
