Nope, it clearly says "produced by".
I think that Factor 5 were contracted to Rainbow Arts (certainly most of their game were released through them) and I think that Rainbow Arts allowed Factor 5 to do the conversion for Activision.
I say "allowed", but Activision were going to sue Factor 5/Rainbow Arts for Katakis which was a blatant rip off of R-Type which Activision had just licenced from IREM, and saner minds prevailed because someone at Activision realised that they didn't have anyone to do the Amiga version of R-Type, and clearly Factor 5 proved that they would be able to do it because of how close Katakis was to R-Type, so instead of suing them, Activision agreed to drop the case if they ceased selling Katakis and converted the Amiga version of R-Type.
