Hi cran12,
It means you have everything you need and you're ready to go.

Hi RedRose,
Not necessarily. It means that the person believes you have everything you need, and that you may proceed.
You are at a check-in counter at a hotel. The clerk greets you and helps you with everything you need to check in. He or she accepts your payment, rings the porter to carry your luggage, gives you a brochure and a receipt, and hands you the keys to your room. When she is done, she gives you a smile and says, "you're all set!"
