No, Sec. 1.1.1 of RFC 5652 (which you are quoting) only describes the
differences between the original PKCS #7 v1.5 and RFC 2630. There follow a few
more sections with other bells and whistles leading to RFC 5652.
Besides, even if the later RFCs are (mostly) *backward compatible* with RFC
2315, they may still be adding useful stuff. This is just speculation on my
part, not actual knowledge.
