Does it mean literally all internet will be shut down? How can that even happen?

To use my post from above to demonstrate

There are three cables providing Internet access to Cuba
GTMO-PR - which attaches Guantanamo Bay to Pueto Rico
GTMO-1 - which attaches Guantanamo Bay to Florida
As the name suggests these are operated by the US Govt.
Whether any public traffic ever went over those cables, I don't know.
and
ALBA-1 which goes from Jamaica to Cuba, and from Cuba to Venezuela
and is 60% owned by state-run CVG Telecom (now Telecom Venezuela) and 40% by Cuban Transbit.
So to "black out" Cuba, simply block access to that route.
