Of course I do mean that.  It is not logical to think otherwise.

Quoting the Specification out of context does not help your case.  The 
Initialiser goal symbol is on the right-hand side of the 
/VariableDeclaration/ production in section "12.2 Variable Statement".  A 
/VariableDeclaration/ can only be produced as part of a /VariableStatement/, 
through /VariableDeclarationList/, which can only be produced by 
/Statement/.

Very obviously all possible outcomes of the /Statement/ production produce a 
statement each in these programming languages.
