Yes: keep in mind that your original media is unaffected by edits. All the edits and other actions (color grades, etc.) you do in your project are kept in the .drp file. Resolve and other NLEs are nondestructive editors. You're not actually editing your original video and audio files, you're editing your project.
If you ever work with tutorial footage, this is exactly how it works: you download some media and a .drp file, import the media to your SSD or RAID or whatever, import the .drp file, relink, and you're in the project at whatever state it was saved at by the tutorial instructor.
Speaking of tutorials, if you want to get back up to speed on Resolve, check out the Resolve 17 tutorial on Ripple Training; it provides a good introduction and covers media management, project setup, etc.
