Yes

It IS comparing every cell with every other cell:


def interact(self):
        
        #Check every other cells
        for a in collection:
            if a is not self:
                
                #Distance between other cells
                d = dist(a.x(), a.y(), self.x(), self.y())
                if d < (a.radius + self.radius):
                    
                    ### Push other cells outside its perimeter ###
                                        
                    #Direction
                    dir = PVector.sub(PVector(self.x(), self.y()), PVector(a.x(), a.y()))
                    dis = dir.magSq()
                    dis = constrain(dis, 10, (self.radius + a.radius))
                    dir.normalize()
                    
                    #Magnitude
                    m = (self.mass * a.mass) / dis
                    
                    #Combining magnitude and direction
                    dir.mult(-m)
                    
                    #Converting to Vec2D + adding force to physics engine
                    dir = Vec2D(dir.x, dir.y)
                    a.addForce(dir)
