Is vnode number also limit system-wide number of open file?

I notice that there is a unsigned long i_ino; in definition of `struct inode' [1], which is the virtual filesystem inode. Does that mean "inode number" and is it used for indexing in the system-wide inode table? If that is the case, would that limit the number of open
