In order to run a script on my VPS, I had to have some net admins perform a proxy install of Apache onto the same instance of my VPS. Since that will be a separate Apache install not administered or patched by my VPS provider I was just checking if patching Apache myself is as easy as it seems.

See here:
http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/patches/

Is that it?

Just a patch about once every few months or so and that's it? Just use the command line command and it's patched.

Seems too easy. Am I missing something?

Patches are generally applied to the source, and the application is then rebuilt.
