As far as I know, yes. LSAC does have some other data of mine (undergrad school, unofficial GPA, major, etc.), but I suspect that law schools don't look at that.
From my readings, I get the impression that maybe 80% of law school admisions are based on "numbers" (LSAT and GPA). Of that estimated 80%, 75-90% is LSAT, the other 10-25% GPA. So basically, LSAT is very important in admissions (and in fact better predicts grades than any other factor for any other type of school, including GPA).
Note, I think that they only look at LSAT for the fee waivers. When it gets to the actual admission process, the "factor" breakdown is as described above.
