Not quite. A resetlogs is only done on failover or when opening a snapshot standby.

There are some new upgrade options wrt Dataguard in oracle 12.2 and above that do allow an upgrade of the standby first. However, with. 11.2.0.4, a standby first upgrade can only be done if using a logical standby. You might be able to covert it to a logical standby and upgrade from there...
