The simple answer is yes, Union Stage Depot was some kind of bus station. There aren't that many references online, but I found this paragraph in a book called 'Motoring: The Highway Experience in America' by John A Jakle and Keith A Sculle. A footnote adds that the depot was used by 350 cars daily in May 1922.

The book also contains this picture from the year the depot opened.

Here is an obstructed photo of a Pickwick Stage in a publicity shot at Hollywood Police Station.
