Yes. That's what it means. Your contract is meaningless against a corporation when they can change the terms of the agreement and force you outside of a court of law into a monkey court of arbitration.

The courts are for the wealthy, not for the plebiscite. This is what this ruling shows.

FWIW, a plebiscite is a yes/no popular vote of the whole population, not the population itself. Also, totally agreed.
