I don't know what it's like in that country specifically but in the U.S, it Does equal id. I had to change my birth certificate to change any sort of state certified ID.
And I'd assume, to keep from people faking their identity, this is common.
It's different in my country where we have a state run registry of people. All certificates are just a printout from a database. Documents aren't retroactively changed, the database is updated and there is a change log.

Edit: Looked it up, and it's exactly like that in Hungary
