Yes a line of symmetry creates a 'mirror image' of each side.
An image has Reflectional Symmetry if there is at least one line which splits the image in half so that one side is the mirror image of the other. Reflectional symmetry is also called line symmetry or mirror symmetry because there is a line in the figure where a mirror could be placed, and the figure would look the same.
A 'mirror image'
The shape is said to have lateral symmetry.
The definition of a line of symmetry is a line that can be draw down the center of any shape or object to show mirror image of the other side. where each side is a mirror image of the other side.

Now for a horizontal one, it just means that if you cut the figure in half, horizontally it will make a mirror image.
Then the figure has line symmetry.
Because they don't create a perfect 'mirror image' of each other
It means literally if you reflected the object through the centre of the image, at a specific angle, in a mirror you would get the same image on the mirror with that on the other side. So or example the letter A has one line of reflectional symmetry because if you put a mirror vertically along it, you would see the same image on the mirror as the side that you weren't looking at.
Sting rays and many other animals have bilateral symetry. That means that their left side is essentially a mirror image of their right.
This is referred to as bilateral symmetry, for instance the human body whose left side is more or less a mirror image of it's right side (on the exterior, that is).
