Yeah, I think it does. It implies that you had some clear intention in the creation of the work, and that the result met your expectations. Of course, sometimes there's the fortuitous accident, but overall, to me at least, knowing why you like your own work indicates an understanding of what you've done, and the ability to perhaps honestly critique it.
