Technically, yes, vitamin B6 does help metabolism, but the answer is much more complex than that. First of all, metabolism is the net product of two general processes, anabolism (the synthesis of organic molecules) and catabolism (the break down of organic molecules). In this sense, vitamin B6 has a very important place as a cofactor for a couple of important enzymatic reactions within metabolism. The full explanation for the exact enzymes and vitamin B6's role can be found in any general biochemistry textbook.
In terms of general human metabolism, vitamin B6 is an important vitamin and is found in everyday foods. However, it is not something that will "speed up" metabolism and help someone lose weight or anything like that.
