No, it just means it's reachable through interface number 389.  There
is a table somewhere which associates interfance names with
descriptions or even better, the labels which you have hopefully
applied to each interface.  (Brief pause while I dig around in my
wiki and various script directories.)  If you are digging around in
your cisco, I'd try starting with something like .1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.2
which on mine returns information like:

nmpwalk -c public -On -v 1 172.30.0.254 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2 | grep Giga | head
.1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.2.10101 = STRING: GigabitEthernet1/0/1
.1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.2.10102 = STRING: GigabitEthernet1/0/2
[...]

In your case I'd look at .1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.2.389 to see what the
interface was.
