Yes, its definitely an IP address. As other have said it is among a range of addresses that are "private" meaning an ISP will not route them and so they don't exist on the public Internet.
There are actually 3 ranges of private IPs. This is part of the 192.168.0.0/16 prefix, which covers 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255.
For more information on private addressing you can read RFC1918. You may also wish to read RFC3235, which covers NAT, the technology that allows systems to connect to the Internet using private addressing behind a router.

Yes, but - - -. This is one of the special IP addresses for local area networking. It will not go over the Internet.
These IP addresses are usually used to connect to switches and routers for configuring them from your PC.

Yes it is. It is used for private networks only. It is not recognized on the internet as a valid IP. There are 3 Class IP ranges that fall into the catogory.
The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) has reserved the following three blocks of the IP address space for private internets:
10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255 (10/8 prefix)
172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255 (172.16/12 prefix)
192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255 (192.168/16 prefix)

While it is an IP address, it sounds like the IP address of a router. If you are are on a network, that might show up as your IP address.

Yes, it is an IP address typically used with the subnet 255.255.255.0. It's a private IP class C address meaning no one on the Internet can have the address but you can have the address on your home or business network.

Yes, it is normally the IP address of a router

That is the IP address of the gateway of your router. You will usually enter in this value to access your router. This IS NOT your IP address itself.
