No, vm_page_insert doesn't correspond to a pagein. vm_page_insert is
just used to add a page to a vm object, which is a higher-level
operation. The vm object will determine what happens when an access of
one of its pages causes a fault. It could result in a pagein from swap
or a backing file, or it could just result in the allocation of a
zero-filled page.
