Yes, it's the amount of current the AC will pull for a very short time until the compressor starts to pick up speed -- we are talking about a fraction of second in most cases.
By comparison you can see the number for a 13,500 BTU/hr Power Saver. Notice running power isn't all that different, but LRA is quite a bit higher.
