Yes, the expression "meet one's quota" is used commonly usually in situations where you are selling or distributing something. A "quota" is a minimum amount of something that someone is required to complete, or has a goal to complete. To "meet one's quota" means to complete the minimum amount of what was expected or required. Ex: All the salesmen at the company have met their quota for the month. Ex: I still have four more boxes to deliver to meet my quota. Ex: The police officer probably gave him a speeding ticket to meet his quota.
