Exactly true. "Bi-weekly" is nearly as ambiguous, but is rescued by an  
ensuing discussion: "Which two days of the week did you want (the event)  
to occur?" "Um, ah, I mean every two weeks." "Fine then, let's say that."

I think the original question from Christian Hopps presumes the meaning,  
"Every two months."
