What state are you in please as things/codes & statutues do differ state from state.
I only know in general, for a while all court doc in CA were viewable but now there is a fee to view court related documents online, and though it is public access, I cannot say about going to the county records office and viewing them. I mean I do not know what the fee is but in CA, unless in involves minors, it is public access, if you wanna pay the fee. I know I can go to my county clerks office and search the micro films and pay for copies of what I want.....

Court files are public records and, to my knowledge, are openly available to the public unless sealed by court order. Albeit, that usually entails a person physically going to the courthouse to request to view the docket.
In your matter, since you agreed to a payment stipulation, the case may reflect a status of "dismissed by stipulation" or "dismissed with leave to reinstate." In that event, since a judgment was not actually entered, it would not be reported on your credit report as a judgment. I think that is what your mediator meant -- that it won't go on your credit report. But I think if someone wanted to view your stipulation, that would still be publicly available.
