Correct, at least mostly. Ubuntu kernel which tracks upstream LTS
release (e.g. Focal v5.4) obviously receives all upstream stable updates.
Other Ubuntu kernels (e.g. Bionic v4.15), where the kernel is not
supported upstream anymore, receive such updates as well from a closest
stable update, if it applies.
