Yes, that is technically true, but that is not the same as saying that 
"parent *sectioning element*" == "nearest ancestor *sectioning 
element*".  This example was given earlier:

   <section>
     <div>
       <section>

The inner section's parent is not a sectioning element, so it does not 
have a "parent sectioning element".  It does, however, have an ancestor 
sectioning element: its grandparent in this case.

So, there are cases where "nearest ancestor sectioning element" does 
equal "parent sectioning element", but in other cases it is the 
grandparent, great grandparent, or a more distant relative.
