No, it doesn't. However, that exact page is more of a quick glance over 
cstclsh rather than the tclcsound module. The module is quickly glanced over 
in http://www.csounds.com/manual/html/csserver.html

I copied that (alongside tclcsound.so) into pkgIndex.tcl, but it didn't work 
(I'm trying to load it with "load tclcsound.so Tclcsound"). I tried different 
version numbers to no avail. I wonder how is tclsh supposed to find it? I 
guess a different command is needed to load tclcsound.
