in it's most extreme form yes, similar to how nihilism works in it's most extreme form, however the difference here is that we aren't talking about an explicitly sterile environment, unfortunately we live in the real world, and as evidenced by this post. My description probably conveys more accuracy and meaning, than the philosophical definition of it, in this case at least.
it just depends on each person's views, yours defines meaning in a way that makes the meme's phrasing wrong but plenty of interpretations/definitions make it accurate. The lack of intrinsic meaning is pretty fundamental to the philosophy though. the meme is pretty clearly riffing on the fact that absurdism isnt just "nothing matters", it's visual wordplay.
