That's what it means -- unless there's a cross-complaint, in which case this language could dispose of only one side of the case while leaving the other (without a claim for fees and costs) intact.

Yes, this is exactly what it means. It's a standard language of a Release document that states that each party will bear its own costs and fees.
Thanks.
