Basically correct. Here is the text of the requirement:
6.1(c) aircraft carrying more than 216 passengers shall carry the number of cabin attendants as prescribed by CASA which shall not be less than 1 cabin attendant for each floor level exit in any cabin with 2 aisles;
Civil Aviation Order 20.16.3
There is no similar requirement for single aisle aircraft or those with fewer than 216 passengers.
