Exactly. This means that a note that is displayed on the middle staff line without any accidental is actually a B-flat, not a B. In Lilypond you have to enter the real pitches, so you have to enter a b-flat. If you enter only "b", then lilypond assumes you really want a "b", which means that lilypond needs to print a natural, because the key signature says that without it a note on the middle staff line means a b-flat. If you know the piano, you can think of each key on the piano having one name (b, b-flat, etc.) and if you want one particular key on the keyboard being pressed, you need to use that name. Don't think of "okay, that note should be displayed on the middle staff line. The middle staff line means "b", so I have to enter "b". This is wrong, since the middle staff line can mean either b, b-flat or b-sharp, depending on the key signature.
