Is it true that pressure is defined as the force one object exerts on another object?

Pressure is defined as a force per unit area directed normal to the surface.
Pressure is not defined in terms of the force one object exerts on another object, but such a circumstance that certainly is an example of a pressure.
Caveat: Admittedly, one could argue as to how any force could be exerted on an object if it were not in contact with another, but such is too limited an idea for a definition. One would have difficulty characterizing pressure in the depths of the ocean if one had to identify what objects were in contact. One must further note that pressure is not a vector whereas force is a vector.

Describe the reason a fluid exerts pressure on an object immersed in the fluid?
The pressure that a fluid exerts depends on the density and the depth of the fluid.
What is exerted when an object is submerged in a fluid and the fluid pushes in on the object?
We say the liquid exerts pressure on the object.
What is the meaning of action-reaction?
It means that if one object exerts a force on another object, the other objects exerts a force back on the first object.
What is it called when one object exerts force on another object?
What will change is the momentum.
What object in space exerts force on another object that is close to it?
Every single object in space exerts a force on every single other object. They don't even have to be close.
