Yes, the motion is (mostly) to the start of the next/nth word. (exclusive)

Ah, I don't ever use cw within a word, but ce instead, so haven't
noticed that it fails to eat the space as it should, to be consistent.
But ":h cw" opens with a defence of this "Special case: ...change-word".

The w motion is then perfectly as specified, and as expected.
It is particularly handy when correcting indentation of a few
lines to align with a leading line of arbitrary indentation:
1) Move to start of leading line, with ^.
2) j
3) dw
4) Loop to 2 until done, using '.' at 3, i.e. j.j.j.j.
