Do you know if it's for every receiver on the field when the ball is thrown or if it's including only the receiver being thrown to?

This is their definition off their website:

Average Separation (SEP)
The distance (in yards) measured between a WR/TE and the nearest defender at the time of catch or incompletion.

The guy the ball is being thrown to is the only one you could measure at the time of the catch or incompletion. The rest of the defenders drop their coverage run towards the ball as soon as the see it thrown, so most every other receiver would be wide open by the time of the catch or incompletion.
