Kind of - you need to make sure that the provider has a mechanism for storing
these values in a way that doesn't result in them being looked up if they're
already present.

Resources should never store 'is' values, only 'should' values - the provider
can cache the 'is' values, but not the resource.
Yes, this is confusing, but I don't really know how to make it better.
