no, it means that Site.SideBar is not locked as all the other pages
in the Site group, and therefor is editable like other pages.
So to protect it from editing you would need to set at least an edit
password on the page, or a sitewide edit password in config.php with

$DefaultPasswords['edit'] = crypt('mysitewideeditpassword');

PmWiki differentiates between a number of passwords for different
actions. In particular $DefaultPasswords['admin'] does not restrict
page editing.
