No it doesn't? Saying that each symbol represents a letter does not presuppose that the configuration of those letters are the final plaintext.
It presupposes that there is a plaintext and that there is a mapping from symbols to letters of the plaintext. The word "symbol" is also problematic, it presupposes that we can decompose Voynichese into a set of symbols with any confidence that the choices we made are correct. This is clearly not true. Some transliteration systems are more analytical than others, some on the contrary group more strokes than others...
