That is correct. However, you cannot say "Mannen och kvinnan har lunch" in Swedish.

Well, it's not really that it means have. It's just that in English, there's the idiom “to have lunch”, which means nothing other than to eat lunch, which is also what "äter lunch" means, so of course you could translate that back to "have lunch".

"the man and the woman eat lunch" is not correct. Äter is presence so "eat" is missing the s, "eats"
with just "eat" it is translated to: Mannen och knives ate lunch

In English the conjugation of the verb to eat is as follows: I eat, you eat, he/she/it eats, we eat, you(pl) eat, they eat. So a man and a woman is plural - therefore - eat is correct.
