Can someone clarify for me exactly how the javelins option for this spell works?

The description reads as if all of the javelins launch themselves at once when the spell is cast, resulting in the caster needing to make up to 15 attack rolls simultaneously. Is this the correct interpretation?

Yep. And kinda dumb, too.

It's no different than any Xd6 attack spell when used this way. The only difference is that there is no save - you instead have to hit the target's AC... 15 times. And they're normal attacks rather than touch attacks. And it has a costly component. So yeah - not that great. (Though it can at least crit, and has a fairly good chance of doing so since you're rolling 15 attacks.)
