Yes, the "releases" of rolling distros like Arch or Manjaro are just snapshots of the rolling release to get you started with something reasonably current. You never have to "upgrade" to a newer release, just update your packages and you will be running the latest. (Of course, this also implies the main drawback, that major disruptive upgrades of software components are also part of the regular update stream, whereas distros with branched releases save those for a new distro release.)
