Generally, yes. It is designed to attract a specific "type" of girl. But this pertains only to looks. The entire PUA framework and principles of attraction, traced back to "The Game," was and still is designed to attract 8.5's and above, essentially the top 5 percent of the female population. The girls every guy is trying to get.
I think The Game was a great piece of literature, but I would say that it overemphasized getting the "club girl" a little too much. Mystery dedicated a good portion of his work to getting the "club girl" because he found that most of the girls (9's and above) he was trying to get happened to be found in clubs. This is not the case in every city of course.
The principles of pickup remain the same however, regardless of venue. (DHV's, kino escalation, etc., you know the drill) You just go about this in different ways in a quieter bar or a hotel lobby than you would in a club.
Either way yes, PUA is still designed to attract that one 8/9 in a group. The one in the bar/club that every guy wants and can usually be found in a large group, likely surrounded by female protectors and other male orbiters, or, ahem, her "guy friends."
