What it should have stated was, "you no longer need to bring all your expansion books (and appropriate indexes) to the table, we have tied all the expansion rules into one volume" or something similar. Where the RC shines, in my opinion, is in tying these types of rules expansions from the various expansion books in one volume. These are formalized in the Rules Compendium and listed simply under "Hide", so they are all in one convenient place. For example, Complete Adventurer added numerous "expanded skill descriptions" including "Move between cover" which consists of several additions to the Hide skill. In many cases, there was a rule in the "core" books that was expanded on, made more explicit or otherwise changed in a companion book. The fine print does explain that a bit though. While the back cover explicitly states, "All the rules of the game." it is in fact not, all the rules in the game. The only definite things I can tell that are missing from the RC are "class-specific options and feats." What else is missing? Do I still need the PHP, DMB and MM if I have the RC?
