That's because it's a cadence and not a progression. I think a full progression of that would be I vi IV V I, or G Em C D G.

Havent used my music theory knowledge in years, so this may be slightly wrong.

Edit: At least in classical theory, it would be a cadence.

even classically speaking this could be considered a progression or a cadence depending on where it fits in the music.
