Exactly, it means that F1 did not come off the rubber on the initial feint to 3B. In reality, he hasn't feined to 3B, hasn't delivered a pitch, hasn't thrown to an occupied base (or has done so without stepping directly to that base...he initially stepped towards 3B) , nor disengaged properly. That is why it is a balk.
