Well, that is not simply true. PCI DSS requires to comply all requirements. See: https://www.pcisecuritystandards.org/documents/PCI_DSS_v3-1.pdf
For example requirement 6.6 requires WAF (on public facing web applications). In simple way, you need also hardening on os or, not just security update. If you process lot of data then onsite PCI QSA assesment is also required every year and also yearly penetration testing and external & internal scanning.
