He is. It means that when he is able to free Asuna, he could finally "come back to real life" as the SAO event could finally be put in peace.

But anyways this episode was pretty good. Although the whole Gurren Lagann-style Giga-Drill bit was not something I'd expected the animators to turn too.

Spoiler for Novel Comparison:

...But alas animating Kirito hacking and slashing his way too the top would have probably been too expensive or they're running out of budget money.

At the same time they really didn't explain how the number of weakish zerg mobz increased in proportion to how far you've gotten to the top to highlight how Sugou is a sadistic scumbag even more. 12 per second was the rate of spawning IIRC?

Also poor Recon lawl, even though he's just a character foil it would be nice if he was developed more.
