No. It is specifically changing a codeshare -- UA operated by LH, or vice versa -- to a native flight number, without changing the actual operating carrier. It only applies to paid flights because awards are never codeshares. The reason to do it is that you need a native flight number to be able to upgrade.

Separately, but somewhat related. Is there a WIKI for LH award F? Saw mention in another thread of using Plus Points for upgrade on LH metal. Have not heard that before for non UA metal. Just trying to do my homework. Thanks!
There are a couple that might be relevant:
Using PlusPoints on NH / ANA
LH Electronic PlusPts Upgrades -How to use, will it clear?, issues w/flight credit,..
