Yes it does. No one controls the air in which it flows. In a physical network one have to hook into a physical wire or a switch, while the air traffic can be sniffed and with the right tools (such as a Really powerfull computer) crack the encryption. Which is exaclty why I don't like wireless networks, so I don't have one.
