That is incorrect. Step and half, is also legally considered incest in most states and countries.According to the law, this is not incest! Incest is the first family deal! Mother - son. Brother - sister, etc. that would be incest

There are some variations between some states and between some countries, but most of the time, as long as there's a legal family bounding (marriage, adoption etc.), it is legally incest.
Note that guardians, while not actual incest, is also illegal in most places where incest is illegal.
In many places, it's right up there with rape as far as punishment and seriousness goes, regardless of age and consent.
The rule of thumb, if it can be called a family in some fashion, it'll be incest just about anywhere.
*edit*: please note however, that not every country includes the sexual part of it, and only punish the legal side (weddings mostly, but birth certificates as well.) For most of those, it's actually legal to have sex, as long as both parties give their consent, and are over 18, but they'll be unable to marry, and only one parent will be listed on any birth certificates.
