Hmm, no it doesn't.  I was just getting my info from this page: 
http://senseis.xmp.net/?path=GoHumour&page=HowManySquaresOnAGoBoard  but 
looking into it a bit more it seems that you're correct (at least for 
Japanese boards).  I don't about standard sizes in other countries 
though (I think a Chinese board is somewhat larger, but I don't know 
about Korea or other countries).
