To my understanding, the "minor version" is the entire version *including*
the last number, like 18.4 (and not only .4).

In this, I seem to be in agreement with
https://www.postgresql.org/support/versioning/

To me, removing the "minor" makes the text less clear.  If we change that
at all, perhaps a wording like "the full version, including the minor
release" would remove any ambiguity.
