Does a RSS of OK (from ps) mean a process is swapped out?

I hope this is not too obvious, can't seem to find info anywhere.

On a T64v5.1a system, if I do something like
        "ps -ef -o uid,pid,rss,vsz,args"
there are processes whose RSS value is 0K (zero kilobytes), while their
VSZ is somewhat larger. This is on a system using lazy swap, if that
matters. Can I assume these processes are actually swapped out? There is
some swap in use, about 37800 pages.

TIA...
