Yes, to burn bridges means to leave yourself no way back, or to leave yourself no opportunity to repair damage. It also means to damage a relationship before it can properly start. For example, you may say to someone that you dont like them right now and you'd rather not speak to them for a few days. If you hurl abuse at them and tell them you never want to see them again- THIS is burning your bridges, because there is no way back.

i think create problems for yourself in the future due to your bad behaviour or a mistake you made.

You burn the bridges behind yourself. There is no way back. You can't make it undone.

He burnt bridges in front of him (not behind him) which simply means, as Fofa said, 'create future problems for oneself'.
