Engine spool up on approach - Airbus

Most airlines have engine spool up as a criteria for a stable approach, e.g. engine spool up at a certain altitude, for example 1000'

Normally this is considered as engine being above idle when passing the above altitude.

The Airbus has an Approach idle mode.

I have just heard that being at Approach idle is sufficient, you do not need to have engine spool up.

Is that correct ?
