Do the last numbers in the VIN tell the production build number?

I've picked up an 06 Cayman S that I plan to resell. It's loaded and I noticed it has a Sep 2005 build date. There was a thread on Planet-9 about Cayman S Launch Vehicles - early production cars sent to Porsche dealers to garner interest in the new Cayman model. The description of color and options matched my car and I asked how to determine if it's a Launch Vehicle. I was told it's listed as an option and someone helped me decode my options. It has the Launch Vehicle option (762).

So now that I've determined it's an early build Cayman S, does the VIN contain the production number? The last 4 digits are 0267. Is that significant?
