Exactly. You can emboss text onto or out of a part using this tool. You create a sketch on the surface you want to emboss (or on a work plane), use the sketch text tool to create the text, finish the sketch, select the Emboss tool and select your text for the profile. See Inventor help for more detail on how to emboss.

To make real parts you'll need CNC, and you'll lose the islands in the letters (like the center of "0"), unless you add bridges.
