No. Ambiguous means that a statement has many possible meanings, not simply that something might be confusing.

I'm a bit confused:

- It's not ambiguous because they mean $X.

- It is ambiguous because it has many possible meanings.

- It is not ambiguous because it has many possible meanings

that would imply the existence of an objective authority on the meaning of the statement, which is debatable
