I think the debt ceiling was not part of this right, so that still needs to be addressed by the middle of October.

That’s right. This avoids a shutdown at midnight tonight but the debt ceiling still needs to be raised for funding to continue after December 3.
AP story:

The back-to-back votes by the Senate and then the House will help avert one crisis, but just delay another as the political parties dig in on a dispute over how to raise the government’s borrowing cap before the United States risks a potentially catastrophic default.
