Romans 8:19-22, does “creature” mean “all humanity”?

Romans 8:19-22 (DRB):

19 For the expectation of the creature waiteth for the revelation of the sons of God.
20 For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him that made it subject, in hope:
21 Because the creature also itself shall be delivered from the servitude of corruption, into the liberty of the glory of the children of God.
22 For we know that every creature groaneth and travaileth in pain, even till now.

Does “the creature” mean “all humanity“?

If “the creature” means “all humanity” then, could we consider this as a promise of God that “all humanity” will be saved?
