Not exactly. Rust can be made to run on 16-bit toaster or even OsIJustWrote. Just because it can be run, doesn't mean Rust std lib devs will support 16-bit toasters or OsIJustWrote.
Each platform has different levels of support. Primary being Windows, Mac and Linux, where every pure Rust crate runs.
Std lib makes certain reasonable assumptions, for which it works e.g. malloc exists and panic! is implenented.
