Yes, that's accurate. It's not only behind several security patches, but lacks hardware and device security updates all the way back to August 2018. Those updates are available through Android Pie, and it was mandatory to migrate last year in order to continue providing them.
Pixel, Pixel XL, Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL stopped receiving security updates via the AOSP 8 branch in August last year. They never received an August 2018 security update via Android 8 as you can see from developers.google.com/android/images and the AOSP repositories for them which ended then.

If you look at a security bulletin like the February 2019 one, you can see it's divided into two:

The 2019-02-01 portion is made available via AOSP including the 8.1.0 branch that Copperhead continued merging months late.
The 2019-02-05 portion is not.
