Essentially yes.

Any time you call an async function you get a Future. The future does not resolve until you await it. So you can call an async function from a non-async function normally and do things with the future. You just cant call future.await to yeild until the result is is ready unless you’re in an async context. You can ask the runtime to resolve the future if you want, but that’s a blocking call so it’s up to you to make sure it’s safe to block.
