Yes, it is that simple. Just put

deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ warty-security main restricted

into your /etc/apt/sources.list (it should already be there, at least
commented out). If you also want the sources, you should add another
line similar to the one above, but with 'deb-src' instead of 'deb'.
