Yes, to "get back together" here means to reunite, or to get together again after being apart for a long time. In this case, "get back together" refers to the band of the Beatles splitting up and then reuniting and reforming the band again. So to "get back together" can refer to reconciling a relationship or to reunite. Ex: She and her boyfriend got back together a few months after they first broke up. Ex: We need to get the family back together. We've been apart for too long!
