Yes, it does.

Busybox does not include any sort of firewall.
You need to read the FAQ on busybox.net
to better understand what busybox is:

Anyway, since busybox runs on Linux only, your device
obviosly runs Linux.
On Linux it is possible to set up very complex firewall
configurations. Most likely it is also possible to do
what you need too.
