Yes, 邪魔 means "burden, disturbance, hindrance." The Japanese like to be (overly) polite in formal situations, and trying to exaggerate the things they've done as impolite by saying お邪魔しました ("I have disturbed/hindered/burdened you") is just them being modest. That's why they also often say すみません when they, for example, accept something that's offered to them.
