Yes it does, when pollinated. People often only have one flowering at a time, or do not bother with pollination. Wild banana species, just like pretty much all other flowering plants (with a few exceptions) produce seed through pollination. If it is not pollinated it will not form any seed, but the fruit will also not develop.
