Ya. Strength usually refers to static tensile strength, of which PLA scores pretty damn high.

There's a YouTube channel called CNC Kitchen which does regular testing of filaments. He measures various kinds of strengths (tensile, compressive, impact, young's modulus etc). I highly recommend it.

But when people say strength they usually mean static tensile strength.
