If I'm not mistaken, just accessing the Id property of an entity that's lazy loaded, does not force a loading of that entity. The proxy has the Id on it, it's how it knows about which entity to go and get it whenever it's being lazy initialized.
I could set up a simple test to verify though, but I'm pretty sure that's how it works.
