It can, in the same sense that a table of contents can help you understand the purpose of a book. A legend should show the different sorts of symbols used on the map, and in doing so will show you what "layers" of information are shown. What the legend doesn't show are:

1. What the area of coverage is

2. If the map uses any more selective criteria for inclusion of objects on the maps besides "it's in this category" (this should be apparent elsewhere, e.g. on the cover or in explanatory text)

3. What the agenda of the map publishers is (this needs context beyond the map often)
