Yes. To my understanding, it's when all the things in space drift so far apart due to the expansion of the universe that all the atoms and energy are spread so thin that there is nothing left but empty, cold, void.

The antithesis to Heat Death is "The Big Crunch" where the expansion of the universe stops and then starts to go back into itself until there is only a singularity like the one that the big bang originated from.

I liked when they called it the Great Gnab, as it's the reverse of bang.
