It means each person pays their own way. You pay for what you get and they pay for what they get.

Here is a good example and explanation of "to go Dutch".
My friend from Indonesia was invited by an Australian for a date. They went to the cinema first and the boy said, "let's just go Dutch, O.K.?" My friend did not really know what is the meaning of "going Dutch", so she just shrug her shoulders and say "O.K."
Later she found out that to go Dutch means, you each pay for his or her share of whatever expense involved.
After the movies they went to a restaurant, and again the boy suggested that they go Dutch.
At midnight the girl asked to be taken home. The boy complied and in front of the girl's house when the boy wanted to give her a good night kiss, my friend pushed him away and said: Let's go Dutch. You kiss yourself good night, and I kiss myself good night, O.K?

When people go to meals together and pay for their own bill. Sometimes, especially if it is a larger group, people will opt to pay for a portion of the entire bill, rather than tallying the costs of their items.

It means you each pay your own share of the bill when you go out to eat or for entertainment.

You each pay your own way. And Dutch Treat is to pay for theirs and they pay for yours.
