Do I understand correctly that as long as I am the only user on my Mac this vulnerability is basically not relevant to me?

From what I understand, yes. This vulnerability is to gain information about another user using the same computer (at the same time?). This is why I have disabled the performance-impacting spectre/meltdown mitigations on my home Windows PCs.
