Yes, this will show you every graphical app as far as I know. 
There may be an "other" category, and this is where apps that do not have keywords that put them in to 
somewhere else should be found. 
If there is no other, or you suspect something is missing, you can use the filemanager of your choice, caja 
works very well for this, and open 
/usr/share/applications/and see everything. This is independent on desktop environment, i.e. will work in 
gnome, mate, lxde or whatever. 
Most of your CLI apps will not show up there as this contains .desktop files which are the launchers files 
for GUI programs. Some CLI aps make such a file 
to launch themselves in a terminal window, e.g. elinks, or on some distros mutt even.
