Question re: Imported bank transaction IDs #12

Thinking about this repo's TODO around imported bank transactions ids. API docs say imported_id is

A unique id usually given by the bank, if importing. Use this is avoid duplicate transactions.

Can anyone confirm or deny that YNAB import_id could be safely mapped to Actual imported_id?

YNAB import_ids look like YNAB:-127850:2021-11-08:1, which feels generated by YNAB rather than "given by the bank", but also feels adequately unique to use in avoiding duplicates.
