No, that is the number of times the File page itself was viewed. For
playabale media on Commons, you can use Mediaviews, e.g.
https://tools.wmflabs.org/mediaviews/?range=latest-20&files=En-us-banana.ogg
This represents the number of times "play" was actually hit -- though it is
not necessarily exact. The Analytics team could explain any caveats better
than I could. The data comes from the Mediacounts dumps
<https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Analytics/Data_Lake/Traffic/Mediacounts>,
and fed to the Mediaviews tool via an API courtesy of James Hare.
