Does this mean that to be a PADI Instructor, then you have to go through this marathon.

Yes - it's a legal requirement as of some time this month.
Bear in mind that there are different requirements for different sorts of diving. For recreational diving you only need an HSE Recreational (ACOP) Medical, for which the standards are much less stringent and no ECG is needed. However many doctors will just give you the full commercial style medical because it doesn't take much longer but they can justify charging c.£100!!
