Exactly, correct! To cave means to give up, to succumb.
Example:
I’m on a diet and shouldn’t eat chocolate, but I caved and ended up eating some.

Yes, cave means to give up.
Let’s say someone was telling you to do something you didn’t want to do, but then you did it so they would stop bothering you -You caved into their demands
