What Does Sony APS-C Lens Mean?

Sort of, yes. Basically the rear element of a lens is the same size as the sensor it's designed for, so an APSC lens rear element will be about 2/3 the size of a Full Frame lens, which is why it only hits the centre of the sensor on FF. Front elements are generally the same.
