It absolutely *can* have that implication, but I don't think it necessarily has to? It can also just be a way of being more specific. 'Bi' just means attracted to more than one gender, which may include any/all genders, but doesn't necessarily. Someone who's only into the two binary genders could identify as bi, so could someone who's into women and non-binary or agender folks but not men, so could someone for whom gender doesn't factor into attraction at all. 'Pan' is sort of a sub-set of 'bi' that explicitly asserts attraction to any/all genders. It's sort of like the difference between saying you don't eat meat and saying you're vegan - the former encompasses the later, but doesn't necessarily imply it since it also covers other possibilities.

Personally, I identify as bi rather than pan both because I don't feel a need to be more specific and because I'm not actually sure if I'm attracted to people outside the binary or not (absence of evidence doesn't equal evidence of absence and all that), but I can see why some people prefer to make that assertion.

NAYRT I think of it as bi meaning more than one and pan meaning all
