This is not correct. It plots the curve for a hypothetical subject with x= mean of each covariate. This is NOT the "average survival" of the data set. Imagine a cohort made up of 60 year old men and their 10 year old grandsons: the expected survival of this cohort does not look that for a 35 year old male.
