Yeh. I double-checked that this is documented in the the docs[1]
(scroll down to Figure 26):

"The Make this user administrator check box gives the user you are
creatng administrative rights (by adding this user into the wheel
group), allowing this user to use the sudo command to perform tasks
normally only available to root using only the user password, instead
of the root password. This may be more convenient, but can also pose a
security risk."
