Exactly. In addition, the "first things first, let's buckle those belts" lady tells us:

If you need anything, don't hesitate to ask. As always, we're here to make your flight great, because great is what we're going for.

So, we have:
  1. An instruction to ask if we need anything, and
  2. An icon indicating how to summon someone to ask

Based on the above, it seems reasonable to press the button if we need anything.
