YES. It is that simple. You can not use "errno"

In any event rule 20.5 does not apply here. You are not useing errno. You are using your own version. The rule that does apply here is 20.1 "Reserved identifiers, macros and functions inthe standard library shall not be defined, redefined or undefined."

The previous poster is not quite correct. Defining your own version of errno does not violate Rule 20.5. However, reusing any identifiers reserved for use by the standard library does violate Rule 20.2 (note, not Rule 20.1 as stated by the previous poster which prohibits redefinition using macros).
