No. You can say the electronic subsystem (often also called the electronic temperature) was treated at 315 Kelvin.

For a true finite temp calculation you miss the main effect, namely that atoms vibrate and their amplitude is temp dependent. Depending on the property of interest, you need phonons, entropy contributions, supercells with temperature dependent random displacements or Molecular dynamics calculations.

PS: Even for T=0 you "miss" the zero point motion, which in few cases can even show up in some properties (eg. they correct the lattice parameter by a few hundreds of an Ang).

According to this file and wien2k guide : TEMP =0.002 Ry  , so TEMP =0.027211408 eV .
I guess , as TEMP in ryd, that TEMP =K*T
SO: T=Temperature = 0.0272 / K  .
T = 315 Kelvin
If what I wrote is correct, can I say that my DFT calculation with hf, is carried at T= 315 Kelvin and not at 0K ?

Thanks
