No, this does not mean that the AC compressor is coming on. What it does mean is that kick-down is working properly which is seperate from compressor function. Mine was also kicking-down everytime I pressed the AC button but no compressor lockup. It will still kick-down even if compressor is not working properly.

The only way to verify is to put your eyes on it. There's no other way I can tell you verify it and can't really help any further if you can't verify it.

Find the compressor, push the AC button and look at the part in the center of the compressor pulley to see if it is spinning or just sitting still. There's no other way to tell!
