No: The information you present is what was documented as the initial rationale for introducing the MCAS.
But even during the development and the test of the plane it turned out that it wasn't enough. MCAS was redesigned to correct for more than that initial flaw -- check the widely researched and published articles about that. There are different moments at which MCAS was modified to turn itself on, and the more power over the pilot was added, to the point of crashing two planes while the pilots fought against the wrongly implemented device (which was made non redundant "to preserve the type rating" -- i.e. to "not affect the sales").
737 MAX under any type rating can't be certified to fly without something doing something similar corrections to MCAS.
There are articles documenting that.
