One can relate sluring/phrasing to a singer, where she/he will pause to take a breath before starting the next phrase/sentance, so where the slur ends a particular set of notes one on the piano can take a quick breath if you like, ready for the next slur to begin straight afterwards. Its like a musical sentance, starting from the beginning of the slur to the end, and all notes in between to be played nice and evenly/smoothly and form a musical sentance, where one can for example add dynamics to the phrase such as getting louder in the middle of the sentanceand dipping down, or one long crescendo. One must play evenly/flowing or legato rather, as apposed to stacatto/attacking. Thats basically it yes, a slur means to phrase a musical passage whether it be 2,3,4 bars etc.
