Is it correct saying that in this case it can have the same meaning of the phrase 行ったかもしれません or this shows more a lack of possibility to go?
That would be said about someone else besides the speaker, but not about the speaker him/herself.

"(Someone) might have gone." Someone told you s/he might go, but you haven't spoken to him/her of late so you aren't sure if s/he actually went.
