It comes from Isaac Newton, not Albert Einstein. The rest is right though - it means that he couldn't have achieved what he did without the achievements of people who came before him. As 'standing on the shoulders of giants' it's on British £2 coins.
I think the full quotation referred to being able to see further than anyone else because of standing on the shoulders of giants.
