Yup.
It crops the viewport to the height:width ratio of the render settings, and can add 3 more boxes for different purposes (bleed area for printing, equvalent of bleed (whatever it is) for screens etc).

Settings are in the - right click the name of the viewport - configure - safe frames.
I usually switch the additional boxes off since I have no use of them.
