On the county court website, if it says "Temporary Restraining order filed" Does that mean it was granted?
It seems that it would mean it's been granted, but I just want to confirm that "filed" means "granted" in the courts eyes. Thanks!

No, filed does not equate to granted.
Call the court to find out if the TRO has been granted yet.

Yes, in fact it DOES mean that it has been granted but only on a temporary basis until a proper court hearing is held and a judge decides whether to cancel the temporary order or make it a permanent restraining order.
Temporary restraining orders are granted where there is a perceived possibility that the complainant could be in danger by delaying. They are often granted without a prior notice to the person to whom the order applies. However, it does not have legal force until that person is formally served (usually by a police officer) with a copy of the temporary order.
All it really says is "Stay away from this person until the court can properly decide whether it is a good idea to keep you away from that person permanently"
