So not all meningitis is caused by n. meningitis? and not all "meningococcal disease" is meningitis?

No: There are a number of bacteria beside n. Meningitidis that can cause meningitis. The most common manifestation of Meningococcal infection is 'flu-like illness.' meningitis by n. Meningitidis is easily treatable and serious neurologic sequelae is uncommon.
