Can anyone decrypts cipher-text using Public Key? as I know we can only decrypt using private key, but in this RLPx documentation what this line means?

Receiver receives the initiator handshake and decrypts it with its own public key.

are they talking about verifying signatures?

It appears to be an error. The decryption is with the node's own private key. See the code here (which calls the actual decryption here), quoting the comment 4 lines above:

// prv is the local client's private key.
