No. This is a two-step process. You need to have your code match what's in the provider, when importing.

You also need to remove the import opt once it's imported, so that's the perfect time to put your code back to your real desired state.

It kind of makes pulumi untenable for importing any large scale infrastructure or project imho.

You have to jump through so many hoops to reconcile state.

Once, yes. It is the same when changing how you manage large numbers of resources.
You can use `pulumi import` instead of the import id. If Pulumi imports the resources for you, they're put into state during the process, so you don't even have to remove the _import_ opt.

But it's definitely easier to start off managing the resources.
