You're right. At least in American English the two phrases do not have the
same meaning.

"More soon" is what, for example, a TV or radio broadcaster
would say when temporarily signing off for a station break
or because s/he's run out of material on a particular
ongoing subject, e.g., a currently breaking story. It does
include the idea "see you later with more information", but
it is a specialized phrase and not something you'll here in
normal conversation. It cannot be replaced with "see you",
as Mr. Nixon says.
> I´ve been told that "more soon" is used meaning "see you.." ...
I have seen "more soon" used to sign off a letter, where the writer
was in the middle of relating a long story and either he wanted to
catch the post or the story had not yet ended.

I have used "more soon" to close email, meaning "I will be sending you
more (information) soon" or some such. In an informal context this
expression could close any letter, though I rather suspect it is an
americanism #shudder#.
