Absolutely not!
It means $\text{If }x\in X\text{ then }x\in Y$.
Or equivalently $x\notin X\text{ or }x\in Y$.

I would even start by saying that x has not been defined...

In this matter I absolutely agree with emakarov's reply.
$\left( {X \subseteq Y} \right) \Leftrightarrow \left( {\forall x} \right)\left[ {x \in X \to x \in Y} \right]$.

Ask your protagonists does imply that $\left( {\forall x} \right)\left[ {x \in X \wedge x \in Y} \right]$
