I'm in the middle of implementing a Joomla 2.5 site. If by "auto update" you mean without any human intervention at all, then you are right. You need to trigger updates manually from the administration web UI. Joomla will then do the rest for you.
That's the sort of thing I mean: Wordpress alerts me then offers to do the work for me. If the site is being maintained generally anyway that's enough - if someone is logging in once a month to update the diary then clicking the "update me" link isn't a big deal.
P.S. According to the Joomla documentation web site http://docs.joomla.org/ "Joomla! 2.5 is the current LTS version. The previous LTS version, Joomla 1.5, is still widely used and will be supported with security fixes only until April 2012." So, if it's running 1.5 it's probably fairly urgent to update to a more recent version, preferably the latest 2.5.x.
This is usually the point at which I end up starting afresh! Somehow it's quicker to set up a new site and transfer any content than it is to upgrade.
