What's the meaning of "Eh bien, Philippe, mon vieux. Ça fait une éternité… " I guess it could be a general greetings like "long time no see" in English, right?

"Ça fait une éternité..." is a way to say "It has been a long time..." or as you suggest "Long time no see".
You can also say in French "Ça fait longtemps..." but by using "Éternité" it somehow implies that it has been a really long time since you last saw a person or something.
