No, that's exactly what 2 does - it locks the transmission into second *only*. I think it's meant for slippery surfaces, as it makes it harder to spin the wheels.
Because of how a torque converter works the transmission *can* skip first gear - If you could lock it into 4th gear it would still work, but you'd accellerate really slowly and probably cook your torque converter.
