This usage would be incompatible with what I was told about Indonesia: if they want to use this tag to find how many roads they added, they probably don't want me to remove it. Even for your use-case in Thailand, I think it would be better to use a different tag, like "computer_vision_assisted" for the facebook stuff, or something else more specific, since "import=yes" should mean that the data came from an external source, rather than from on of our usually sources aerial imagery.
