Not necessarily. Ubuntu have "enablement stacks" kernel updates for the LTS releases. These are more than just upstream patches.

For example, 12.04 LTS release had 12.04.4 with a backported kernel as a standard update.

Oh, and here I thought they just patched security holes but kept the same old kernel for 2 years. [insert "the more you know" graphic here]
