Yes, the "spittin' image", or "spitting image", of someone means that this person looks exactly like someone else. It is a general expression and can be used for people or things, but is most commonly used when referring to people, especially in the case where a child resembles their parent. Ex: His children are the spitting image of him. Ex: The style of the home is the spitting image of an Italian villa.
