Yes.  It means that to attack Bitcoin one must only make the reward higher to do so.  And if the reward for supporting Bitcoin tends toward zero the cost of doing so is fairly minimal.

It's the margin that tends to zero, not the reward.
Your attack is self-correcting, manage to make the global hashrate drop, everyone's rig is suddenly more valuable.
