No, this is a very old joke that uses the fact the command has "fr" in it to trick people about what the command does. Joking aside, here's what the command actually does:

rm is the command to delete files and folders

-f is the force modifier. This means it'll keep going even if it encounters problems and just delete as much as it can

-r is the recursive modifier. That means it'll go down every folder it sees in the target and delete the contents as well, and delete the contents of folders of folders, etc.

/ is the target. This is the root of the filesystem. If you're used to Windows, that's like targeting C:.

Put it all together, and this command basically deletes your whole filesystem. A safeguard was put in place a while back due to people meming about this and causing newbies to delete their whole system. Now it won't work unless you put in --no-preserve-root, which tells rm that yes, you really mean it, please delete my whole system.

/* as the target works around that safeguard, because technically deleting everything in root is not the same as deleting root itself.

They're all lying to you. It actually removes Romanian -- for real
