Je voulais juste dire que je vous aime.

English Translation

I just wanted to say that I love you.

Is “I just wanted to…” used like in the English sense of being sort of a filler phrase to introduce the upcoming part of the sentence, or does it only literally mean that this occurred in the past?

The usage is the exactly the same as in English: the past tense is not too literal.
