bound

Hello, everyone.

Would you please take a look at the following definition for bound:

bounds The territory on, within, or near limiting lines: the bounds of the kingdom.
Source: http://www.thefreedictionary.com/bound


Is it saying that the bounds of some, say, political piece of land could either be part of it, the border itself, or the surrounding directly outside its border?

Thank you.
