Yes, the idiom "come to X" does mean "be acted on by X". Common usages "come to harm", "come to Jesus", "come to his/her/your/my senses" ( = rational thought).

It's especially confusing in this case, where the previous sentence refers to a place.

"I come to the beach to relax, but others come to party."
