Yes, that's where it originated. In the early early days (about 8-9 years ago) they were happy to get people to link back at all so they asked where your link was. Then people started requiring link back so submitters created link pages. No one really liked being on a sites link pages because no surfers would go to those pages so then the question was there to make it easier to delete those submitters. Now that the process has matured a better question might be an "if your link back is different from your main page please enter URL"

That's a brief history oh how nd why
