If you're referring to Chrome on iOS, it uses Apple's Webkit/Webview as the rendering engine. The only thing Google is updating with app updates is the logic behind interaction with that webview, not the rendering engine itself.

I think the reference was to Chrome on Android, which (like most of the core Google apps) is treated as a separate app and updated independently and rather more frequently than OS updates, and contrasting that with iOS Safari, which is updated as part of the OS.
