Yes it does. That's all pagerank is. It's an irrelevant line on a toolbar. The ACTUAL pagerank of a site that Google uses to determine a site's position in the SERPs is not made public and hasn't been for many years now. Seriously, chasing pagerank is dead and has been for years.
Here's a quote directly from Google.
"The PageRank that is displayed in the Google Toolbar is for entertainment purposes only. Due to repeated attempts by hackers to access this data, Google updates the PageRank data very infrequently because is it not secure. On average, the PR that is displayed in the Google Toolbar is several months old. If the toolbar is showing a PR of zero, this is because the user is visiting a new URL that hasn't been updated in the last update. The PR that is displayed by the Google Toolbar is not the same PR that is used to rank the webpage results so there is no need to be concerned if your PR is displayed as zero. If a site is showing up in the search results, it doesn't not have a real PR of zero, the Toolbar is just out of date."
