YES.
RedHat releases a quarterly update ... and they make new ISOs available
with the updates migrated in. So that is what WBEL is calling a respin
... it is all the updates to 5/31/2004 already on the CD. This is
really good because on new installs because there are many fewer updates
after the install on the first update ... and newer hardware drivers are
provided.
If you already have installed WBEL, you can get updated by just using
yum ... and you can download the Respin CDs for new installs.

x86_64 is an AMD64 distro.
