Does this mean that the cardinals oversee the bishops in the other dioceses?

No. The bishop of a diocese governs that diocese.

When someone is made a cardinal, it confers no additional authority in a diocese or over dioceses.

An Archbishop does have some influence over the Ordinaries in his area.
