No, it does not. At least not necessarily.
This decision is going to come down to a determination of whether Trump’s alleged actions that are subject to the indictment were performed as a function of the duties of his office.
It’s a case specific determination that will not have much bearing on the Biden’s.
SCOTUS isn’t going to issue some broad ruling that former POTUS’ can never be charged for things that happened while they were in office. The ruling will be narrowly restricted to this case and whether Trump’s allegedly illegal conduct was within the duties of his office.

Giving a speech to the American people certainly meets that standard.
Taking money from a foreign entity certainly does not.
