No, it doesn't. It means there's a "can build ships" flag associated with the shipyard facilities and components. Planets can build facilities as well as units.
Good point. So if the "can build ships" flag were accessible to modders, then they could make a kind of "unityard" that could build units but not ships. Even better would be if there were a "can build units" flag also, which would allow modders to require planets to build a "unityard" facility before building units. And modders could restrict shipyards to ships only. And modders could then add in a research area for a "general purpose yard" that could build both ships and units. But all of this would confuse the AI, big time!
