according to Paul, it does indeed

"Note: If you are using a retail Galaxy Nexus, you may need to unlock the bootloader first, using './fastboot-windows oem unlock' (or the appropriate version for your machine). Note that the OEM unlock sequence wipes your device."

what i get from that is that if you have a retail GNex and the bootloader isn't already unlocked, you'll need to unlock it first.
