Not necessarily. Bundles can be related in a few different ways. What you are describing is an "upgrade" Related Bundle. In that case, it behaves as you describe. However, you can use "detect" Related Bundles and the engine will send you back the information about all the Bundles that share an identifier with information about each of them. There is also "addon" and "patch".
