Yes, that's generally what it refers to. "Young-earth creationism" is sometimes used, but "creationism" almost always refers to belief in a young earth. It isn't an atheism vs religion issue; it's an evolution vs literal Genesis issue, so "young earth creationism" is redundant in this context. There are obviously many religious people who accept evolution, but they tend to side against the creationists on this issue, and in my experience never identify themselves as creationists.
