Yes, bilingual means having two languages (such as a country), or in two languages (such as a newspaper, or a translation dictionary).

But bilingual can also refer to a person. A person who can speak any two languages fluently is said to be bilingual, and if they can speak more than two languages fluently, they are multilingual.
