Yes, it's a question with two gaps to fill.

The way you phrased it in English sounds like "I can't believe what
you just said!", but there's no hint of that in the Lojban, especially
if it's not in response to something just said. The Lojban expects an
answer of the type ".ai mi zukte lo nu klama lo zarci".
