Yes, it does! There are different methods of processing cocoa beans. Sometimes instead of using the whole bean to make chocolate, it's separated into two parts - cocoa butter, and cocoa powder. The processes used to do this are either the 'hydraulic press' method or the 'Broma process'. The edible part of cocoa beans before they're processed is about 55% fat, so the separation usually produces 50% cocoa butter, 50% cocoa powder.

Cocoa powder is made from cocoa beans.
Cocoa powder is made by roasting and grinding cocoa beans and then separating the fat (cocoa butter) from the solids (cocoa powder).

The cocoa beans are separated into their differnt contents, most important in this case the cocoa butter and the cocoa powder. The cocoa powder is what holds the brown color. Leave the cocoa powder out of the mix, and you get white chocolate.
I think that the paste contains a lot of fat, called "cocoa butter" which is extracted..
