Does it mean that they use sugar substitutes such as corn syrup or even diet sweeteners? I usually see this on fruit pies. Does it mean just the natural sugar found in fruit? And do they taste as good and the regular ones made with sugar? I should know this but I don't.

What do the claims "sugar free" and "no sugar added" mean on a food label?
A. The nutrient content claim "sugar free" on a food label means that the serving of food contains an insignificant amount of sugar (less than 0.5 g per serving).
The claim "no added sugars" or "no sugar added" is allowed if no sugar or sugar-containing ingredient (such as jam, jellies, or concentrated fruit juice) is added during processing. This claim is only to be used on foods that substitute for foods that normally contain sugars. Also, unless the food meets the criteria for a "low calorie" (i.e., 40 calories or less per serving) or "calorie reduced" (i.e., 25% reduction in calories) claim, it must say it is "not a low-calorie food" or "not a reduced-calorie" food.

You should read the ingredients list to find out what they are using instead of sugar. Each brand will be different. If it is an organic pie, then it could be sweetened with cane juice which is a healthy alternative.
Corn syrup or anything with the word "tose" on the end is just the same as sugar.
Aspertame, or splenda are the no calorie alternatives to sugar. These may be used if the pie is listed sugar free in order to entice dieters, or diabetics.
My personal preference is to stay away from the refined sugars and the chemicals and try to find organic.

Three things come to mind
1. The fruit provides the "natural" sweetness.
2. If they add extra, it's probably a sugar substitute like Aspartame.
3. You better read the ingredients label... some times they'll use concentrated fruit juice which is a devious way of adding sugar without claiming it's sugar added. Devious!

I think it's mean that the sweet of sugar is come from fruit and they don't put any sugar in there!

I think it means that they just used the natural sweetness of the ingredients. You should be able to look at the ingredients if you're at a store or ask someone if you're at a restaurant.
