Yes, it means where. So literally, "Where person are?"
어디 - where
사람 - person
이다 －to be
어디 사람이야? - Where are [you] from?

For clarification, 어디 사람이야? is actually short for 어디의 사람이야?
Here -의 means "of" or "from" as in genitive case. So the actual literal translation would be:
"Where of/from person are (you)." You can see "person" as "person belonging to where"

어디 사람이야? = Where did s/he come from?
