Does flight number mean plane number?

No. Since the flight number denotes the route an airline serves; it has nothing to do with the aircraft. Airlines operate the same type of aircraft for flying on their different routes with different flight numbers. Flight number, thus, is not specific to a particular physical aircraft, but a particular flight route.
