Would it be correct to say that this change is just about recalculating stake not per each block, but per some amount of blocks(epoch)?

Not just "voting power" (to use Tendermint lingo), but potentially also things like rewards and managing slashing/jailing. But in large part, yes it's mostly about changing the validator set each epoch rather than each block.
