It does not.  It only reveals which kernel is running.

As I said in another message, you could have a 32-bit userspace with
a 64-bit kernel.  If that's the case, then uname -m gives you the wrong
answer.

You want dpkg --print-architecture, or else file /bin/ls (or some other
program that's guaranteed to be there, and to be a compiled native
executable file).
