The kernel is just source code. The kernel version here is 2.6.18. To boot and load a kernel you must first build it of course, and you can choose many options when you do so; not all 2.6.18 kernels will be identical! Distributions can also patch the source before building, putting in their own custom modifications for bugfixes or specific features they need or what have you.
So, 348.6.1.el5.i686 refers to a specific configuration, architecture(i686), and patching of 2.6.18. Its exact meaning is up to whoever released it, presumably your distribution. What's your distribution?
