Yes, it's correct. "they" refers back to "Everyone" in your sentence. Note that, in English, when the gender of the subject is unknown, "they" is often used instead of "he/she".

I forgot to tell you two important things. First, in the subject box, you've written "grammer", which is not a word. It should be "grammar". Second, please don't put a space between a question mark and the word that comes before it. Please look at the following sentences:

1. Is it correct ? does "they" mean "Everyone" here?

2. Is it correct? does "they" mean "Everyone" here?
