Yes. It's figurative, to a certain extent.
We often use the expression "a battle of wits." A simple chess match is a "battle."
When we say "a battle of ideas" we can almost imagine the ideas fighting amongst themselves.
But of course in reality, it's people "struggling" to assert that their ideas are the correct ones.
