What does Pub. Status mean exactly?

I've seen some comics that have Pub. Status: Completed even though the translations are not finished. What does Pub. Status mean exactly? Is it referring to the raws only?

Publication status. Yes, it's about the raws.

It is not scanlation status.

Here's hoping they actually read this and not disregard it like a certain other pinned thread.
