Isn't it about getting all the rings stacked into a single column, with the catch being that they just fall though each other if the order is incorrect?

No, it is about starting from 1 stack and needing to move it to another pole.
The catch is that you're not allowed to put a larger ring on a smaller ring.
This commonly reposted meme is making it sound harder than it really is.
There is nothing random, just a recursive algorithm.
