If it has LAN - N/A in the specs, does this mean the motherboard can't be
used in a Network?

It means that there is no local area network (LAN) adapter built-in
to the motherboard, so it won't work on a LAN unless you add a
separate adapter. You can buy a PCI LAN adapter for less than £20,
less than £10 if you know where to look.

No - it just means that a network card isn't built into the motherboard,
and you will need a separate network card to fit into a PCI slot.
