Even Russian ones are from South Korea so yeah.
They're not - or there would be none.
If Russian *something significant* relied on export - you can easily catch the moment further deliveries became impossible.
Best example is various big reconnaissance/ew/asw aircraft.

By the way, ... if this is true,
... it means all the hype and PR showing the president in front of PAF JF-17Cs and claiming on 25 September 2024 via Azerbaijani state media "that the JF-17 Block 3 was presented to the President of Azerbaijan on the sidelines of Adex 2024 expo" and that "The jets have already been integrated into the arsenal of Azerbaijan's Air Force" were a lie?
How should anyone outside this strange way of thinking should believe what such state-media claims? We delivered them "Thrust me brother, I know", "dare you to question such reports, you evil foreigner" and "we will get the J-35 in 2025, I know it!"

It has already been delivered in secret yesterday under the cover of darkness. They are keeping it in an underground bunker to keep people from seeing it.
You mean like those secretly delivered 8 Sudanese AF J-10CE as well as the secret facility in Kairo, where J-10Cs - and later J-35 - will be built for the whole Middle East or most of all the already ready PAF J-35A?
Saw this at @huitong's site ... he labelled it as a PAF " " ... and even if that JF-17C is clearly carrying a PL-10 on its wing-tips, the launched AAM looks more like a PL-12 or maybe even (for the first time confirmed then) a PL-15?
The launched AAM is at least IMO clearly NOT a PL-10.

Wait so why smokeless motor for BVRAAMs but not PL-10?
