Yes, the Cubs' series win over the Braves is indeed their first post-season series win since 1908 - the last time the Cubs won a World Series. While it's true that the Cubs went to the World Series several times after 1908 - their last being in 1945 - they never won any of those Series and failed to win NLCSes in 1984 and 1989 and failed to win the NLDS in 1998.
Playing in the World Series did not require a team to win a playoff series until the two leagues split into divisions in 1969. Until then, the best team from each league played for the championship.

What is the Mets club record for wins in a season?
The Mets' most wins in the regular season is 108 (with 54 losses), in 1986. Including the postseason the Mets won 116 that year, which at the time stood as the highest total since the 1906 Cubs. This accomplishment is somewhat misleading (and therefore widely ignored). Before 1969 there was no League Championship Series, and in 1975 (when the Reds won 108 regular season games, the LCS, and the World Series) the LCS was a best of 5 series. The 1998 Yankees, with the benefit of 3 postseason rounds, managed a remarkable 125-50 record including the postseason. They went 114-48 in the regular season and 11-2 in the postseason.
