Yep, 'tacet' means silent - more specifically, it indicates that the instrument(s) are silent (often suddenly muted), but that the lyric continues. This typically creates a very dramatic effect during a song. It is also sometimes indicated in songsheets with 'n.c.' or 'NC' which I assume is meant to convey "No Chord".
