Every film was considered to be the last film, until another film was made.
The Final Frontier, however, is not named so because it was intended to be the last film. It is (1) a reference to the opening monologue of the original series in which Shatner describes space as "the final frontier," or the last territory unexplored by humans. (2) A reference to the center of the universe, where in the film, Spock's half brother Sybok thinks he will find God.
The center of the universe is, literally, the final frontier of the final frontier.

There may have been a desire to end at five, but The Final Frontier is more a reference to space and that it is going to be the last frontier to explore

The final frontier in the title was a reference to the center of the galaxy, which was considered impossible to enter.

Final Frontier may also be a link to the idea that they thought they were going off to find God, and that they had to break through the energy barrier.

'Final frontier' just alludes to 'space' as described in the opening speech to every episode & movie.. so not really meant to be taken as a last-in-series. :)
