Yes, that's it. i386 means intel platforms supporting the 386-enhanced processor mode. The reason why dpkg uses this is that a binary built on i[3456]86 can run on any of the intel platforms. About the debian kernel package, are you sure about this ? Then this might be a little problem. Check it out (I don't use kernel-package myself), and open a bug eventually.
