Sort of. It includes the ability to hook up to a docking station and pass USB, video, and Ethernet through the plug.

I use the dock for my Surface Book. With the dedicated GPU it comfortably drives two extra screens through the dock. If you don’t plan on using the dock though, it’s just another proprietary power plug.

Out of curiosity, what's your monitor resolution? I had some issues driving 2 4k screens with the surface dock, but 2k is working okay.

It’s driving two 1920x1200 displays. Then again I’m also using a first gen Surface Book and first gen dock, so this was well before 4K displays were becoming common.
