No it is far more encompassing that just access into the buildings. Ramps curb cuts are a big one, also restrooms get a large consideration. This is from the building code,

access to all areas where work functions can reasonably be expected to be performed by persons with disabilities.

Basically that says is that every part of a building (corridors, aisles) must be barrier free (ie to accommdate a wheel chair). Except where it is unreasonable to do so.
Buildings that do not fall into this category are mostly buildings that are being grandfathered, support a function that is unreasonable for a wheel chair or a blind person, and most industrial buildings.
