Yes. Citing the manual (http://igraph.sourceforge.net/doc/R/graph.motifs.html):

"graph.motifs searches a graph for motifs of a given size and returns a numeric 
vector containing the number of different motifs. The order of the motifs is 
defined by their isomorphism class, see graph.isoclass."

So, the first entry in the returned vector contains the number of motifs 
represented by graph.isocreate(size=3, number=0), the second entry corresponds 
to graph.isocreate(size=3, number=1), the third to graph.isocreate(size=3, 
number=2) and so on. Obviously use size=4 if you were looking for motifs of 
size 4. You can plot these graphs generated by graph.isocreate to see how they 
look like.
