Sort of.  When using pulp with katello, the enabled repos reported by the (katello) agent 
are really used to manage the consumer/repo association which we call "bind".  The 
"repoid" list on (pulp) consumer objects is a list of these associations.  But you're 
basically correct.  You need to bind (in pulp) any repos reported as enabled if they don't 
already appear in the "repoid" list on the queried (pulp) consumer object.  Conversely, 
you need to unbind (in pulp) any repos that appear in the (pulp) consumer "repoid" list 
that do not appear in the reported list of enabled repos.

Make sense?
