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...

Not true. To upgrade, database has to be opened, and to open a standby, you
have to RESETLOGS.
Snapshot standby uses Flashback database to restore prior to the RESETLOGS so
that managed recovery can resume uninterrupted.

Yes it is possible because upgrade doesn't do resetlogs.

Subject: Standby First upgrades
Oracle 11.2.0.4 and 18.3
DATAGUARD

I have been told I can, but looking at ORACLE Doc it says NO!
Is it possible to do a standby first upgrade from 11.2.0.4 to 18 in a
dataguard setup?
My gut feeling BTW is no.
