Does Tongue Weight Capacity of Roadmaster Spare Tire Carrier Include Carrier Itself

Question

Question:

for the item below, I am guessing the listed tongue weight of 200lbs is for whatever is put in the hitch mount on the tire carrier e.g. bike rack and bikes and WOULD NOT include the weight of the tire and tire rack, correct? thank you!
