Yes, Exactly that.
As far as I understand, Most of the smaller participating sites (Like Reddit, and some other I haven't heard of) are planning on taking their entire site offline from 8am to 8pm and just replacing it with a message informing people of their stance on the SOPA/PIPA bills, and letting people know how to contact the people behind the bills.
Wikipedia and other big sites (Like Google) have mentioned that they might join the protest, but have said it is unlikely that they will take the sites offline and will probably just put up big messages about it on their home pages.
EDIT: also, here is a video about PIPA/SOPA, that explains the negative impact better then I can: http://vimeo.com/31100268
