Not necessarily. Your statement is vague.

Without some form of access control rules, packet inspection, WAF, etc. at each stage then simply adding stages does NOT necessarily increase security.

In my opinion, what you describe alone is not enough.
OS and application hardening is also required.
Regular patching (of everything not just application and OS, which includes routers, firewalls, switches etc) is needed.
And monitoring/alerting can't be ignored.
