It does suggest that people with 2 shots are unlikely to end up in hospital. I haven't seen enough data about the hospitalisations when adjusted for age+vaccines to draw any more conclusions.
There are still many over 70s who haven't had any shots though. My (estranged) uncle and his mother-in-law haven't left the house for 18 months, he disinfects his food deliveries and leaves the post in a box for 3 days. He refuses to get the vaccine because he's worried about catching it. Chances are he won't end up in hospital either, but people like that could skew the cases as more data comes out to allow spurious claims from anti-vaxers (They might claim that 'before 2 in every 100 over 80s were going into hospital) , now it's only 1 in every 100 unvaccinated over 80s going in to hospital), because the chance of catching covid from the population still unvaccinated dwindles because of continued isolation
