Assuming you are talking about a PPL and not an NPPL, I'm surprised your instructor hasn't made this clear.
Yes you are correct in thinking that in the first year after issue there is no requirement to fly. For the second year you need either
12 hours total (min 6 P1 ) including a minimum 1 hour flight with an instructor
or
no flying and a Skills test
But there is a difference in flying to the minimum required and being current and (hopefully) safe
At your stage, get the hours in irrespective of what LASORS says.
