Yes, that's exactly it; if you look at Interaction::isFresh()
definition, it checks Interaction::iterMadeReal, which is assigned in
InteractionDispatchers if the interaction was potential and now has both
geom and phys created.

It was meant to be used in constitutive laws, to initialize stuff as
needed.
