In some situations, that is exactly what it means. The "artificial" in this case just means that it wasn't done using sex. If the semen cannot reach the egg cell, doctors can put it there, at least after verifying that there are sperm cells in the semen. If the man doesn't have semen with viable sperm cells, then trying to put his semen by the egg cell won't help.

In other cases, it refers to artificial fertilization. The egg and sperm cells may be taken from the body, isolated, allowed to fertilize, and introduced back into the woman's body. It is "artificial" since this requires a fertility specialist, and doesn't happen on its own. This can be helpful if a man has a very low sperm count. The sperm cells can be isolated from the semen. Then the egg can be fertilized in a lab and then implanted back in.

So the "artificial" here refers to outside intervention. After that intervention, the process is natural.
