You need the "postgresql13-contrib" package as well.

Normally new extension versions (at least for the core contrib
modules) are provided with
each major version release, so that will be take care of when
performing a major version upgrade.

If you do ever need to update an extension, the process is:
- install new binary
- execute "ALTER EXTENSION UPDATE"
- if the extension provides a shared library, PostgreSQL will need to
be restarted to activate the new library
