yeah it is, the prophet adviced it to be made, at times of loss and misfortunes a famous example is Umm Salamah reciting the Adiyah when Abu Salamah passed away...and subhan'Allah she was then blessed to be married to the prophet himself..
I kinda do know what it means, and what the Du'a is actually for but I wanted a word for word translation insha'Allah..

Yahyâ ibn Mu‘âdh (rahimahullâh) said: “Renew your hearts with the remembrance of Allâh because it rushes into forgetfulness.”
Umm Salamah RadiyAllaahu 'anhaa reported that Allah's Messenger salalAllaahu 'alayhi wasallam said:
"Whenever an affliction strikes a muslim and he says, as Allah commanded him, "Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi rajiun. Allahumma ajirni fi musibati, wa akhlif li khayran minha - To Allah we belong, and to Him will we return - O Allah, reward me for my affliction and replace it for me with that which is better," Allah will then surely replace it for him with that which is better."
عن أم سلمة زوج النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم تقول
سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول ما من عبد تصيبه مصيبة فيقول
إنا لله وإنا إليه راجعون اَللّهُمَّ أْجُرْنِي فِي مُصِيبَتِي وَأَخْلِفْ لِي خَيْرًا مِنْهَا إلا أجره الله في مصيبته وأخلف له خيرا منها قالت فلما توفي أبو سلمة قلت كما أمرني رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فأخلف الله لي خيرا منه رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم (رواه مسلم)ـ
246. Umme-Salamah Radiyallahu 'anha, the wife of Rasulullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam, narrates: I heard Rasulullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam saying: Never a slave of Allah, afflicted with a calamity, who says (the following words), except that Allah will grant him for his calamity better than that:
Inna lillahi wa inna ilaihi raji'oon. Allahumma'jurni fi musibati wa akhlif li khairam-minha Verily unto Allah we belong, and unto Him shall we return. O Allah! Reward me in my calamity, and grant me from it something better than that.
She said: When Abu Salamah Radiyallahu 'anhu died, I supplicated as Rasulullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam had ordered me; so Allah then granted me Rasulullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam (as a husband), better than him. (Muslim)
