I don’t think the gem in Heimdall’s armor could be the Soul Stone.

However, I do think it has a meaning. I think it is supposed to represent Asgard.

If you look at in Thor: The Dark World, it has the design of Yggdrasil.

Yggdrasil is the tree of life, and how the Asgardians and the other beings in the Nine Realms view how their planets are aligned.

From drawings we’ve seen in both and , we know Asgard is located at the top of the Yggdrasil map.

Additionally, in Captain America: The First Avenger, there was a in Norway depicting Asgard at the top of Yggdrasil.

If you look back at Heimdall’s armor, his gem is in the vicinity of where Asgard is located in relation to the Yggdrasil.
