Yes, as there's no distinction for enterprise vs. non-enterprise certification. All systems that pass Windows logo certification have to be able to disable Secure Boot AND load user provided keys.[0]
If I had to guess, Microsoft locked down the Surface RT and wondered if they could get away with it, then once there was backlash and they realized that high-security environments wouldn't like it, they never spread the requirement to x86. That or antitrust fears.
