So far as I know, yes it does.

It's the other way around: testing lags behind unstable by a few weeks and
provides packages which have been in unstable for that time and haven't had
serious bugs submitted against them (serious in the Debian sense of the word,
that is).

I've been running unstable on my production desktop and laptop machines for
years with few problems, but if you really want to reduce the risk of an
unreliable system you'll have to wait for the next stable release. You can't
have it both ways.
