Without getting into APV/Virtualization, that command will give you the number of physical/virtual processors you have but it might not be exactly lcpu. If you want lcpu, try smtctl and look for # of SMT threads. A number of commands tell you about lcpu. e.g. vmstat (heading), topas -L, nmon.
Typically, if you have SMT enabled, lcpu = 2x the # of available procs. But of course if SMT is off, that command would give you the number of lcpu.
