I am still trying to clarify this in my mind

I asked

So if Mary had said no there would have been no Savior?

You responded

Exactly.
Which is why Catholics esteem her so highly and call her the second Eve. For what Eve destroyed with her disobedience, Mary helped to repair with her "yes", freely given.

So is it then the Catholic position that the salvation of all of humanity, depended on Mary?

Some people should stick to comic books and just pass on Reader Rabbit.

The salvation of mankind through the incarnation was depndent on Mary’s fiat because God would not have forced her assent. That beig writtine keep in mind that
God knew from all time she would say yes even in allowing her the will to say no.
God would have come into history to offer our salvation by other means had she not said yes.
