yes, click that and then untick the 'available to chat' option, that will keep you offline permanently,
then to hide the chat bar click the little arrow thing next to the cog.
if for some reason it doesn't keep you offline you may have left yourself logged into somewhere eg another computer or something like live messenger, or you may have to log out of facebook and clear your browsers cache.
you can see if you are logged into somewhere else by going 'account settings> security> active sessions' you can then log out of each one and if you don't recognise one where you logged in then change your password.
