That's correct. You're probably missing the metapackage that brings
in new kernels automatically. For an amd64 machine, that metapackage
is named "linux-image-amd64". (If you use DKMS kernel modules, you'll
also want the corresponding linux-headers-* metapackage.)

The NVidia 570 driver is a kernel package that's installed by running an bash script that requires the kernel headers.

If I get the metapackages linux-image-amd64 and limux-headers-amd64, will I need to rebuild the NVidia driver every time it loads a new kernel?
