Does it mean, in my understanding now, to injure someone?

As in the sentences I found and instanced below.

1.He ran at me and I just swung wildly but I really got him good and he was knocked out in one punch.

2. She just spun around and threw her drink all over him. She got him good, he was drenched.

3. May vs Might and she got him good.

4. All hospital in the area were alerted to watch for Woody, because Tom said that he got him good.

No, not just physical injury; it means to get a clear advantage over someone. It could even be in verbal sparring. It also can be, say, a practical joke, or tricking someone.
