I think this is a regional thing. It would be understood in Argentina, by example. It means that it was a really good lie. Like if it was so good that you can compete in a liar's championship with it.
It's not usual to use such an expression but it all depends on the content of the conversation or text.
But yes, it is grammatically correct and possible to use.
I could compare this to saying: "It is a white lie."
