Not quite.  This only disables the APM daemon, apmd.  apmd does some
simple logging, battery reporting, and a call-out upon certain APM
events.

There is still a kernel module which handles low level APM events.
Neither apmd or the APM kernel modules can disable suspend or standby
events, at least as they stand now, unless you set SUSPEND_ON_AC to
false as I said.
