No, it means Google has granted you access to that resource. It matters when it comes to HOW you gained access to that resource. If you were using your own authorized network connection, or your neighbor's unsecured wireless, or a hotspot in a cafe for which you are not a paying customer, etc.
The situations are not cut and dry, and (IMHO), the penalties should not be either.
But our world is changing fast, so check back in 6 months, and this may all be completely different.
