Not necessarily. It means that you pose no threat which is a big part in taming. I had that with my robo. I went in looking for a Syrian and came out with a roborovski.
The way I see it is any animal that comes up to you (not you go to them) has chosen you. Kind of like a match.
Breaking the fear factor in hamsters is the first major step in taming. After that it is relatively easy.
IMO, if you're going to get a hamster, get that one. It's chosen you
