That's an assumption as a full biome load has not happened yet and may actually differ from loading in new poi's. this is going to be a much larger change and may require a different approach to generation. I don't know programming, but saying something as fact when the evidence presented only gives an educated guess is a bit

Here's from the FAQ of their official discord:
Will new content be added to my world I currently are playing on?
New content such as tar pits, mountain caves and Mistlands in the future will not appear in areas that have been already generated. Areas are generated 300-500 meters from a player's location. Exploremap and resetmap has no effect.

Yes we know the poi updates with the explored parts etc, but there is no solid info on what happens to those completely empty biomes if explored. Unless you got a link to a dev or something no one actually knows what will happen map generation wise when mistlands is implemented or any other empty biome for that matter

You are new here ? That will act like mountain caves and tar pits , will not be there if the place actually was explored, works in the same way , thats why people with old seeds that already have the old mistland placeholder ( big trees and skulls ) explored didnt get changed for the new placeholder

It is that way to try to prevent "forced-wipes" when the new biomes are introduced. As mentioned those empty biomes are place holders awaiting updates.

That being said, areas that are EXPLORED (even the empty, unpopulated biomes), will not populate correctly when the biomes are added / updated.... only unexplored areas of the map, hidden by fog-of-war, will successfully update.

Where have you heard that from? Cause as far as I'm aware an empty unpopulated biome has never been introduced yet and therefore the consequences of how they will be affected when the biome is introduced is untested and unknown. The "explored" rule we know for introducing new poi's might be different from a whole biome implementation.
