So

He said it was not what he knew that mattered but how he did it. So it is with all of us.

About the underlined part, is it the same kind as the one below?

"He is becoming famous for his well written-stories."
"So he is."

So it is means that all of us agree with the preceding statement. So he is , in this statement means that what has preceded is a fact.

PhilipSo it is means that all of us agree with the preceding statement.
So if it is a conversation with A and B as:

A: "He is becoming famous for his well written-stories."
B: "So he is."

isn't it safe to say that B agree with the preceding statement by A?

Yes, most certainly, because he is declaring what A said to be a fact.
