So it’s a task that needed to be done manually, but in case I forgot there is no notification that’s going to remind me to do so , I’ll just be able to do the scan and get the results based on my database that’s it’s not update it. Is that right?

The result of a scan are created based an the NVTs on your local machine. You are responsible for updating them.
