Temperature 0 means the same prompt always gives the same answer, right?

I am setting temperature=0 in a pipeline so every run is identical. My understanding is that at 0 the model is fully deterministic: same prompt, same output, always, on any provider. So I am planning to skip storing outputs and skip any drift tests, since I can regenerate anything exactly. Is that correct, or am I missing something?
