Indeed, it does.
Sorry, my bad.
Let me explain it better.
Originally お宅 otaku meant house - and as nerds and geeks tend to hang out in their house the word for them became Otaku.
In Japanese Otaku generally refers to a nerd of some sort - most usually a computer nerd with no physical abilities who is heavily into reading and other solitary pursuits. It can also refer to someone who has an unhealthy obsession for anything that is unphysical.
In Western cultures the word Otaku has been taken to refer to people who are specifically into Japanese Anime, Games and Cosplay.
So, there you go!
