No, it means that the destination directory /usr/lib exists.

Code:
If /lib does not exist as any type of file and you want to create the soft link.

lr-xr-xr-t   1 root       sys              8 May  7  2003 /lib -> /usr/lib

On most unix systems this soft link exists already.

The command is:

ln -s /usr/lib /lib
