Yes, these are usually just scams if you visited some shady website. The notification that your iPhone has been "hacked" will only appear in the respective browser or application, so if you close the app on your iPhone you are fine.

My friend Iafeef is correct.
What the scammer wants is to fool you into believing that you are in danger and need of their shady app or to call them so they can scam you out of your money.
Best practice is to stop visiting that website that supports those fake ads.

what action do I need to take
