Basically. Though "to each other" might not fit all contexts. The idea of "mutuality" is primary.

If you're having trouble with what it means, you should look at a dictionary. The problem with what you're doing now is you're looking at an English meaning of a Japanese word. Which doesn't work at all. Because what that means is we don't have a word that fits perfectly with 合わせる (which is pretty funny considering its meaning). All the meanings are basically the same thing. Look at what connects them if you want a general grasp of the word or read the Japanese definition (even though that still is a shot in the dark). This is some pretty basic stuff. If you stop micromanaging your education, you'll get a better one.
