You need the chakra of all nine Bijuu + Rinnegan to do that. And I don't think that it being one of the prerequisite invalidates the implication that the Rinnegan is immune to lower level Sharingan-derived genjutsus either.

Just, because the Rinnegan could counter Infinite Tsukuyomi, through doesn't mean it can counter all genjutsus:

1. Sasuke's Rinnegan is different from other rinnegan's in that it has several tomoe.

2. It was Sasuke's rinnegan powering up Susanoo, that stopped Infinite Tsukuyomi (IT), not the rinnegan alone.

3. Being immune to IT doesn't mean being immune to every other ocular genjutsu. Edo Tensei were immune to IT, but weren't immune Kotoamatsukami.
