Yes, it enables/disables buildin handling of well-known communities.
Community checks in filters are not affected by this option.

You should probably check that using:

  show route PREFIX all

which would show route to PREFIX and all its attributes (like bgp_community).
or perhaps:

  show route PREFIX protocol PROTO all

which should show just the route (with attributes) from protocol PROTO.
