With Hub and spoke topology, If R2 is hub and R1, R3 are spokes,,,,and if the question ask :

1- Configure OSPF area 0 on the Frame Relay connection between R1, R2, and R3.

2- Do not use the "ip ospf network" interface command on R2.

The task above states that the "ip ospf network" command should not be used on R2,,,Does that imply that OSPF network type that must be used on this segment is non-broadcast ?
 
The connections between R2 and the other 2 are just point to multipoint or point to point depending on the physical connectivity of the spokes to R2.

OSPF does a pretty good job of detecting certain network types and will, for instance, set the appropriate network type automatically for a serial point to point link.

To answer your last question this does not imply this is a non-broadcast network.
