I always decoded that as you'll be dodging them. Like if you spot them on the street you'll hide somewhere so they don't see you.

Kinda grim, isn't it? Like a sniper joke.
The other interpretation isn't actually great, either. Bidding farewell by saying that you'll avoid them if you can? Such friendship!
I've never cared for that insult/ribbing/banter approach to friendship.
That's because I am. 🤷♂️
See you later. ;)
I'd always heard it as 'only if I see you first' which makes it a more dad joke style sillyness.

I don't get it.
Why would they only see you if you see them first? Are you suggesting that they're avoiding you?

Because you see them sooner/first, so they see you later
