Wouldn't that require that there be someone else who decides the rules and has the authority to make them absolute, so that even god is subject to them?
From my understanding it doesn't. God existence would be what defines morality but he doesn't decide morality. If it does require this, then morality is definitely false, because you would have an infinite regression, and infinite regression is proven philosophically to be impossible. The reason you would have an infinite regression is because deciding what morality without a basis, would make it to some degree but not in totality, arbitrary. One thing can be deemed moral but it couldn't been immoral. This makes morality false from one angle, of course, from the view point that we feel it and act upon the feeling, it's of course there. But as each needs a basis to write the rules upon their creation and if they cannot be the basis themselves, it would be an infinite regression.
