No, that is the number of times the File page itself was viewed. For playabale media on Commons, you can use Mediaviews, e.g. https://tools.wmflabs.org/mediaviews/?range=latest-20&files=En-us-banana.ogg This represents the number of times "play" was actually hit -- though it is not necessarily exact. The Analytics team could explain any caveats better than I could. The data comes from the Mediacounts dumps, and fed to the Mediaviews tool via an API courtesy of James Hare.

Thank you everyone who helped answer my question. I have a related
question, about the pageviews reported for audio pronunciation files
on Commons by e.g.,
https://tools.wmflabs.org/pageviews/?project=commons.wikimedia.org&platform=all-access&agent=user&range=latest-20&pages=File:En-us-banana.ogg
Are those numbers the authentic number of times that someone clicked
"play" on the audio widget to download the raw audio, or the number of
times they went to see the [[commons:File:En-us-banana.ogg]] page
without necessarily playing the sound?

It's really amazing how much more popular the English Wiktionary has
become over the past two years. After having analyzed a large sample
of the most frequently spoken multisyllabic words, I can say with
confidence that while 2016 saw about as much usage as 2015 on the
English Wiktionary, 2017 showed a 35% increase, and so far it looks
like 2018 will be a 25-30% increase over that. As the very frequent
words in question generally haven't been edited much at all in the
past five to ten years, I'm confused as to why this has happened. Does
anyone have any ideas?
