No, that's not what --no-wait is about.  The user manual spells that
out:

  ‘-n’
  ‘--no-wait’
       Let ‘emacsclient’ exit immediately, instead of waiting until all
       server buffers are finished.  You can take as long as you like to
       edit the server buffers within Emacs, and they are _not_ killed
       when you type ‘C-x #’ in them.

So --no-wait means do not wait until the user is done editing the
server buffers and dismisses them with "C-x #".
