It kind of does. If you need to run your build through QA, product, upper management and regulatory approval then sorry, no matter how many standups you have - you're waterfall.
If you need an approval on a pull request and some automated tests to pass to give you enough confidence to deploy then that part of your process is agile at least (even if, say, the way you get requirements is not).
I don't know what regulatory approval or standups have to do with waterfall, and I'm not sure what automated tests have to do with whether or not you are agile.
