Yes, the 3rd 5Ghz radio which supports up to 1733Mbps connection rates between the RBR and RBS is the wireless backhaul that is the communication radio between the RBR and RBS. The RBS can be wired as well to communication both client and RBS traffic over the LAN cable connection.
Concrete and steel will impact any 5Ghz radio propagation and operation.
