Yes, that is what it means.

However it should be como está, with an accent mark on the "a."

More exactly it means...

I call myself Coery Smith, how are you (madam/sir)?

Me llamo is how someone introduces his self, even if the direct English translation sounds odd.

And I put madam/sir in parenthesis because está, when referring to the person you are speaking to, is the "formal" way of conjugating a verb. The hint of respect is noted by the conjugation rather than the addition of a title such as madam or sir as we would use in English.

Remember also that "está" can mean "you" specifically or "him/her/it" and knowing which meaning it takes depends on context.
