No, that line creates a menu in the figure's menubar. And answering to 
your other mail, the 'Parent' is indeed a handle to a figure. Note

h = plot(1:10);

hP = uimenu('Parent',h, ...  % 'h' is the handle to the fig created by plot.

I know this works because I took it from Mirone.
BTW, sorry for the mistake in the link (one extra dot) but you can just google 
for Mirone. It's the first on the page

Mirone figures were almost all created with GUIDE and exported to .m but 
I than got rid  of about 90% of the trash code generated by GUIDE. They 
are now very compact and simple to read. However, they still use 
'guidata' and 'guihandles' which I believe have not ported equivalent in 
Octave. So, right now they probably not the best simple examples to use 
as test but I'm interested in helping to port it if you want.
BTW, you can see the code also at http://code.google.com/p/mirone/
