Not quite. The API action and the previous responses pagination token is what denotes the consistent list “snapshot.” They get a current view of the datastore every time they start a new paginated API operation, eg without passing an existing token.

Edit: you might think of the list results like a materialized view. It works really well with natural ordering on something like item create time and you can pass that in as a query param.
