Yes that’s right, it means salami and in spanish it’s used to call someone an idiot. Soft insult, but I use it, and saying so and so is a salami in english would only get me weird looks.
Calling someone a ‘silly sausage’ in English is a very gentle way to say they are being foolish, sometimes endearingly. Typically it’s used for children. So not far off!

Seems to be used in Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay. Being from Spain, I’ve never heard Salami being used as an insult.
