Yes, this means you have a Release-Build with debugging information.
Release-Build only means that you run some optimisation over your code and
that unused method are stripped. This is independend from debugging info.
You can create and debug Release code. The only problem is that you debugg
optimized code and sometimes get trouble to view variables.

For all Microsoft DLL and EXE there is the debugging information available.
Have a look on the following link, how you could get the debugging symbols:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-
us/vsdebug/html/vxtskinstallingdebugsymbols.asp
With the right debugging symbols installed your debugger shows the names
of the system call on the call stack.
