I don't think that's the correct take for the room. Say the human speaks english. If you asked them what the conversation was about, and they had the full resources of the room at their disposal could they tell you? No, because the room doesn't actually allow them to understand chinese, it's just a symbol lookup table. The lookup table doesn't mean the system understands chinese, just the relationship between symbols that can lead to a coherent output.
