Yes, Bundo Kanduang is Minangese for birth/biological mother. Though honestly, even traditional mothers usually don't wear something this elaborate :p

This stuff is usually for big events(or greeting tourists)

The connotation here is closer to 'Clan Matriarch'. The West Sumatran ethnic group in quite unique in Indonesia for its use of matrilineal descent in inheritance and such, though this is much more prevalent in pre-Islamic times. Some trappings of it survives to the present day.
