My next door neighbor has a trilevel house and the siding on the top

flashing is required (from the ground I can't tell if any flashing was
used) or was the siding just extended to close to the shingles such
that water flowing down the roof would just soak up into the siding?

You have to provide much more.

Post some pictures.

Siding should be held off of the shingles by a few inches. It could
also be splash from water falling off of an eave above as well.
Flashing would be tucked behind the siding, and prevents water
intrusion into the house itself.
