It does not. It only reveals which kernel is running. As I said in another message, you could have a 32-bit userspace with a 64-bit kernel. If that's the case, then uname -m gives you the wrong answer. You want dpkg --print-architecture, or else file /bin/ls (or some other program that's guaranteed to be there, and to be a compiled native executable file).
