No, quite literally and exactly, the exchange does not buy or sell and only connects buyers to sellers. If you buy a wheat contract, then that means that someone sold one. Maybe the Goldman Sachs fund is long only, but the exchange is not. Again, the number long contracts and short contracts are equal. Again, for all those long Goldman Sachs fund contracts, there has to be someone selling a short contract.
