The phrase "every cloud has a silver lining" means that in every bad situation, there are some good bits, or something to be optimistic about.

No clouds literally have a silver lining, and a cloud only appears to be silver when the sun hits it in a certain way.

As for the idiomatic meaning, it might be true. Try thinking of any bad situation you can and I'm sure you can think of a couple of ways it could become good, so yes every cloud does have a silver lining.
