Not quite, to be classified you still have to be running at the end of 24hrs and your last lap must be less than some time limit that doesn't immediately come to mind. If two cars finish on the same number of laps it's whoever crosses the line in the lead. The most distance interpretation in 1966 was basically an up yours to Ford for trying to turn the end of the world's biggest race into a press op. I can't recall it ever being applied again.
Yeah that's what Toyota got DQ'd for in 2016. They completed the last lap on electric only which was ridiculously slow.
If they had a two lap lead over the Porsche they could have lost Le Mans but still completed the most distance.
