Yes, it means just that. They give you that info so that you can adjust the size. If you have chunky yarn, you could CO say 17, or if you wanted to do an afghan,you could take your gauge and decide how wide you wanted it and CO that many stitches closest to 5. Ex: you want an afghan 4 ft wide (48") and your gauge is 6 st/inch that would be 288 stitches, round to 290 to make it a multiple of 5 and add your 2 selvedge stitches, so 292 stitches - now you've converted the pattern from a scarf to an afghan. Hope that helps.
