No, it means that fileds larger than that will be aligned on that
size. Fields smaller will be aligned on their on size.

This is exactly how Win32 C and C++ compilers align as wel, when told
to use the same size alignment.

Also the standard alignment is the same as used in C and C++ on Win32,
nowadays.
