Then yes, all it needs is re-honed. It's a very simple procedure actually.
This is the type of cylinder hone I use typically referred to as a bottle brush hone.
It is the simplest to use. You just attach it into a drill, coat it with some oil, stick it into your cylinder and squeeze the trigger while you move it up and down. What the hone does is takes out the glaze caused by the piston rings as the engine is running and allows the new rings to seat properly.
When done you should have a bunch of minor scratches in a cross hatch pattern.
