Yes, that's what it says.  Now I notice it has no rating for DC:

Contact Capacity: 16A(8)A,250V AC
Resistance load: 16A
Inductive load: 8A

I wonder what it can handle in the 12vDC vanagon world?  It's
probably some kind of solid state switch I imagine, maybe it has a DC
rating if you opened up the thing and looked around.
