Well, strictly speakng, you make content in a CMS, but now we're getting into semantics.

The point being that installing a CMS teaches you nothing about PHP - unless if you're installing Drupal, I guess. For the most part, though, CMSes are built to be user-friendly, which means you never get to see the code behind the scenes.

Also, while building a CMS of your own is good practice, it's a few steps higher than "beginner" - first you need to get your head around form submissions & uploading, processing data server-side, validation and sanitization, database structures, and possibly a templating language.
