no, a straight horizontal line doesn't indicates uniform motion

An object is said to be in uniform motion if it moves in a straight line at constant speed.
An object is said to be in uniform motion when it goes in a constant straight line. Motion is the part of the mechanics branch of physics.
The straight horizontal line would indicate constant speed.(NOT constant velocity. The velocity could very well be changing, but the graphdoesn't tell you anything about the direction of the motion, only that the speedis constant.)
Uniform motion refers to motion with constant (including zero) velocity: that is, the same speed and in the same direction. Non-uniform motion can refer to motion in which the speed or direction of motion are not constant throughout the period under consideration.
For motion at constant speed along a straight line, the acceleration is zero.
