No. Vlan tags are used for shared physical media between switches/routers which are vlan tag aware. End points can also be vlan aware (i.e a linux box).
Normally you will tag a physical port of a switch to be a particular vlan and then attach your other crap off it. In the scanario described you are simply putting two vlan tags from the cisco along a common pipe then telling the wifi/connecting switch to treat each tagged frame different (for example having two 192.168.1.0/24 wireless networks which dont interact).
