Is this the end if the franchise or not?

Well it's the end for Geralts Journey but not the whole Witcher Franchise.
I could see CDPR doing a game with Ciri or other Witchers, i.e. Raven or we could see the beginning of the Witchers in the distant future.

I hope it really is the end of Geralts story
so that they can tell us the best Witcher story ever and don't have to hold back

Damn, I'll miss Geralt.

Honestly speaking CDPR is studio with huge potential. As far as I love Wicther franchise I would love to see something different after TW3. Don´t limit them guys. I believe they could create more than just another Witcher universe game(after Cyberpunk of course).

It won't be the end of The witched series, it is the pinnacle of RPG games of this generation.

I wonder what character will be the next to play. I'd love to play as Roche.

They should only continue with the series if they can come up with the right reasons to do so. I wouldn't want them to carry on just for the sake of it or because they're comfortable with the setting. If they find a story that really deserves telling, I'm all for it. However, I think I remember someone from CDPR saying they've been working on the Witcher series for nearly 20 years. That's a heck of a long time to spend on one franchise. I would love to see what they can do with the Cyberpunk world and any other projects that comes their way, whether it be new IPs of their own, or existing ones. Whatever the case, I doubt we will see another game set in the Witcher universe for a long time. And I'm ok with that.

they were pretty clear.

end of Geralts saga, may revisit the Witcher world sometime later with a different protagonist

This here exactly, which makes me think if this is last game about Geralt does that mean that he technically won't be able to be protagonist of next game cause you know him dying at the end.

Honestly I would prefer him or Lambert in some other Witcher possible game after W3 but Ciri also sounds great as main character.

Lambert is to me interesting as next badass witcher.Plus he is young too.

Also I have noticed that all AAA rpg game devs like to work on at least two completely different game franchises where one is SCI-FI either in space or post-apocalytic or cyberpunk.That way they will never get sick of one franchise or setting.Let me give examples:

CD Projekt Red: Witcher - fantasy ; Cyberpunk 2077 - sci-fi

Bioware: Dragon Age - fantasy ; Mass Effect - sci-fi

Bethesda: Elder Scrolls - fantasy ; Fallout - sci-fi

Is that a spoiler?

No, a wild guess, or a question.
