No, it’s the time that the frame should be rendered (displayed) on the screen.  Note, though, that presentation times can be out-of-order (if you have 'B-frames’).  However, frames always arrive in ‘decoding order’ - i.e., the order in which they should be fed to the decoder - so you should feed your frames to your decoder in the order that they arrive (*not* the presentation time).
