could you explain what isomorphic means in this context? what set is mapped to another set? what meaning for the set is maintained?

Isomorphic is the word some Airbnb people picked to mean "web app that can render html on the server and the client". Everybody hated the word, but nobody came up with something better so it stuck :)

Isomorphic means "same shape". In this case the code running on the client and on the server is the same. Not that terrible of a choice for a word.
