Deleted photo while iCloud sync was off

I permanently deleted some photos and videos from my iPad to save some storage when I turned off the iCloud photo sync, but I decide to remain iCloud sync on for my iPhone as I still have some storage left. I also checked on iCloud.com where all of my photos and videos are still there. In future if I were to turned the iCloud photo sync on for my iPad will the permanently deleted photos and videos in the device recovered?

iPad Pro, iPadOS 17

If you turn off iCloud Photos, anything that you do happens on device only. If you subsequently turn it back on your photos in iCloud will download to your device.
