Correct. This for example applies to stuff like prepared statements and older servers on mysql. However I think its ok if we ignore this issue. The developers should know what features their server actually supports.
However simply being able to say "our application requires a level xyz pdo driver to work" should make life easier imho and should be a step in the right direction.
It should also make life easier for developers pondering if they could support another RDBMS or not. I guess this idea is not really novel, as the JDBC standard also employs something similar.
