That's what it always means in the lower 48, though notably in Alaska there are some communities that are true dry, in that they outlaw simple possession as well. In Alaska, they use the term "damp" to describe places where you can own but not buy alcohol and "dry" to describe places where ownership and sale are both prohibited.
