Root Noobie question

Ok, so i have a droid x. I would like to root it. I had the phone flashed to Metropcs. I noticed theres an app on the phone after being flashed. Its called superuser, the icon is a pirate. Does that mean it rooted?

I am not too familiar with flashing to different carriers as in your case with metro but its odd that that would enable root .....there may be more going on here ....to see if your rooted just go to the market and download a root app for free then see if it will work ...it should say whatever app you try has been granted super user permission a d it should also say so in your super user app as well
