Are the LOD chunks calculations reused to generate the real chunks ?

In the mod settings there is the option :
Advanced options > World Generator > Distance Generator Mode
Advanced options > World Generator > Distance Generator Mode

that is is used to determine :
How complicated the generation should be when generating chunks outside the vanilla render distance
it can be set to :
-
Pre-Existing Chunks only
Pre-Existing Chunks only

-
Surface
Surface

-
Features
Features

-
Full - Save Chunks
Full - Save Chunks

From what I understand it means we can choose at which state of the chunk generation the algorithm should be stopped.
For instance in
Surface
Surface
mode, it will stop before generating the features, in
Full
Full
it will actually finish the chunks and save them, etc...
My question is : when partially generating the chunk (so not using
Full
Full
), is the partial result used to generate the chunks when they get in vanilla render distance or is everything recomputed from the beginning ?
Solution
Minecraft will have to do everything from the beginning if you choose to not save the chunks
