Acknowledgement of your shortcomings is not the same as an apology.
In my experience apologies are not making things better, but saying yeah that’s my fault and moving forward does.

This sounds like an apology to me (just a rather casual one, befitting a minor screwup).
If you e.g. said you’d be at a routine 9:00 work meeting and you didn’t get there until 9:20 because your sick dog vomited on the rug you can make a quick and casual apology like that. If you e.g. cheated on your spouse while you were on a business trip, you shouldn’t leave it at “yeah that’s my fault let’s move forward.”
