Basically the answer is 'yes'. A 'commission' is a sort of committee under the leadership of a named person (in this case Beveridge) chosen by the government to investigate a particular issue/problem. Then the Commission produces a 'Report' of all its findings and makes recommendations about what it thinks should be done.

Here are some links on the Beveridge Report - if you should need them:
Beveridge Report - short article on BBC site.
Welfare State - an excellent page on the National Archives site about what the Beveridge Report aimed to do (ie set up the Welfare State) and achieved.
