That's exactly what it means. If someone issues a take down notice in "bad faith", IE they know that they don't have a valid claim but try to use the DMCA to take the content down anyway, you can bring a counter claim against them.
It (theoretically) is there to prevent the DMCA from being used by large corporations to intimidate/scare people into taking down content that the corporation doesn't like, but don't necessarily have a valid copyright claim over.
