Yes - rsync passes along short versions of the command-line arguments the are relevant to the remote sender. Many of them are based on the original command-line arguments. Excludes/Includes are sent over the socket rather than via the command-line. You can see the code that builds this option string in rsync-3.1.3/options.c:server_options(). If so, what is the meaning of the period? It's not documented in the rsync man page, but by looking at the function above it appears to be connected to the immediately-prior flag "e". This isn't the usual "-e" option to rsync. Rather, it's an internal-only option the server processes to set any potential rsync subprotocol version. "e." means the default. However, I haven't looked at the code enough to figure out where these command-line options are decoded.
