I would say if the person is with a group of friends, he/she would be buying drinks for those individuals only. However, if the person is alone or looks around the restaurant in a way that includes everyone in it, the group would be considerably larger.

Does “I’ll buy rounds” mean the same?

The same context rules would apply (group of friends or the whole group of patrons in the restaurant), except it would be for several rounds of drinks and not just one.
Hope this is of some help, Yuri!
