No it disables the service by turning it into a stop script.

/etc/rc2.d/README:
To disable a service in this runlevel, rename its script in this directory
so that the new name begins with a 'K' and a two-digit number, where the
number is the difference between the two-digit number following the 'S'
in its current name, and 100. To re-enable the service, rename the script
back to its original name beginning with 'S'.
Note the "To disable a service" bit. That means to stop it. It doesn't
say "To disable this script".
