No. The ruling seems to have said that he can do anything he likes in his capacity as president, and he can’t be convicted of any criminal offence for it. It didn’t say that the people around him would have to go along with it, or that they’d be immune from prosecution.

It also left convenient wriggle room for the court to arbitrarily decide what constituted “official” actions, rather than him doing something privately, so they’ve effectively granted themselves a get out of jail free card to decide case-by-case in the future
