No, it means this:
sql = "select * from customers where cust_code = ?"
C.execute(sql, (1,))
# ...
C.execute(sql, (2,))
# ...
Assuming that "sql" doesn't get rebound, it'll reference the same string
object as before, hence the cursor object may optimize its behavior by
reusing a previously prepared statement for that query instead of
re-preparing the statement.
