all the characters have their counterparts in real life

The film is based on a true story; all the characters have their counterparts in real life.


Hi,
Is it correct to interpret the bolded part as "all the characters represent genuine people in real life?" Thanks.

More or less. Your interpretation doesn't make the one-to-one correspondence as clear as the original.
