Fusion Drive SSD Unformatted

Long story but I was forced to pull the HD out of my 2015 iMac just to clone it with another iMac. I put the HD back in and everything is working fine. I just noticed in Disk Utility that the internal SSD (Apple SSD SM0128G Media PCI Internal Physical Disk • GUID Partition Map) is "Unformatted". Does this mean the machine is not using this drive at all?

It appears that your Fusion Drive is "split." That is, it is no longer working as a Fusion Drive, i.e., a combination SSD & HDD logical drive.
