No, it means that if the primary is hit by a meteor and you promote the standby, the data will not have been lost. The time between the successful return of the commit on the primary and the time at which the change becomes visible on the standby is normally quite small; you may have trouble running into a case where you notice it, but it can happen.
It's actually not that hard to run into. We encountered this when we were running unit tests against a master/slave setup with pgPool: http://postgresql.nabble.com/Synchronous-replication-pgPool-not-all-transactions-immediately-visible-on-standby-tp5820275.html Regards Thomas
