Not necessarily. It might mean that it's so simple you don't need
complicated scripts to do it.
And job boards are also not a good indication. They generally look for
things people don't already have available and know about. They aren't
going to ask for something they already have, or something they don't
know can be done (at least most won't).
As I said before, PHP is a perfectly good tool for doing admin tasks.
