Yes, that is the bathroom. The door label was HEAD just as the adjacent door in that alcove was labeled CONFERENCE.
I know there's been episodes where it's been readable. I recently came across one where Wes is speaking with Ens. Mendon, the Benzite, in A Matter of Honor in season 2. As the characters move during the scene, a few letters can be seen.

SOUNDEFFECT! Holy crap! It's old home week! Where ya been, homey? Ever get that Halo ship completed?
Maybe the door leads to a severed dolphin head, attached to the main computer via wires and conduits- used for navigation....

I am watching TNG "The Pegasus" right now, and I just noticed that at about 20 minutes in ( on television, so I'm not sure for DVD), on the bridge, there is a black starfleet officer in a blue uniform that gets a PADD approved by Riker, then goes through the "head doors" You can't see the doors, but you can definitely tell that that's where he goes.

See... I don't get it. Is there really that much of a stigma about using the head? Military guys?
So the security officer is in the middle of dropping a deuce when the Borg show up... I guess it happens. Shame he had to die with a tire tread in his shorts... but oh well.
Now, what I do question is the proximity of the stinky to the bridge. Do you really want the CO fighting his own gag reflex at the same time he's trying to fight off a Romulan Warbird? Maybe they have candles, or a kickin' air filtration system.

Same here. Any bridges that I've designed have *not* had a head on the bridge level. God forbid the Captain might have to walk a few steps!

On the Franz Joseph bridge plans there is a head on the Bridge level.
Diane Carey had an interesting scene in one of her novels where the main character asks Kirk (or was it Spock) for permission to step above deck (or something like that) so she could go use the restroom.
Star Trek's always been so sanitary, like the Brady Bunch. We've seen sinks but never a toilet.
I'm scratching my head right now, though, trying to think of any SciFi show that has shown the facilities. We've seen Mal peeing and washing his hands on Firefly but I can't think of any other.
