Please stop saying “mainland China”. It implies Taiwan is part of China, at least to some.

It means without Hong Kong.

Mainland China refers to China sans Hong Kong and Macao, yes. Because you have to distinguish and "Mainland China" is a whole lot less typing than "China but without Hong Kong and, oh yeah, Macao too".

Hong kong also isn't part of china
