There's a lot more to it than that, actually. The bottom line, if memory serves correct, is that a platform (or an architecture, in GM terminology) is a set of key dimensions, which in turn mean commonality in the computer models, tooling, etc.
For example, the 9-3 platform has two versions, the regular and the stretch (Maxx / G6) and the ability to mount different suspension technologies and engines (2.4, 3.5, Saab engines). Things can be stretched lengthwise or width wise if needed.
The floorpan dies themselves may be the same or different (some use subframes but all the pieces that 'fall together' for one model are the 'platform' (or architecture).
