I have wondered that too. The process is sort of started but it's not

Easy. "emerge --fetchonly<blah>" first, then start the real work.
But if you emerge something and it has to be fetched first, is that
counted in the time genlop shows or not? That is the question. I don't
think it is counted but I'm not sure. I set mine to fetch in the
background so most of the time the fetch is done after a couple packages
gets compiled.
Back when I was on dial-up, then I would fetch first. I did that
because my dial-up was so slow. It would take days to download OOo or a
major KDE upgrade.
