Setup composer.json for updating to lasted version later

Question

I want to set up my composer.json then able to update the to newest version lately

For example:

module has composer.json

{
 "name": "vendor/module",
 "description": "description",
 "type": "magento2-module",
 "version": "1.0.0",
}

after a while I updated the packagist, here's the new composer.json

{
 "name": "vendor/module",
 "description": "description",
 "type": "magento2-module",
 "version": "1.0.1",
}

But, problem is, when I'm running this command

composer update vendor/module

The version 1.0.1 does not install, not sure why

Note: I checked the composer.lock and also in vendor/module to make sure it was installed, but not, composer show -l also revealed that 1.0.1 is available

Thanks in advance.

I might be wrong but I think composer update will just update your composer.json. If you want to actually make the update effective you need to run composer install.
