I'd say yes and no. Obviously, it doesn't stabilize your image when moving like a steadicam. In fact, I would recommand NOT to use it when moving a lot with the camera since the up and down motion of your hips will be directly transfered to the camera when walking.
That being said, if you're shooting in one spot, which is usually the case in a scripted environment (for me), then it does act as a stabilizer, because the stick keeps the camera from going up and down. In other words, it kind of acts like a monopod.
