Comment (by rmccue):

 It depends on how exactly you're importing here. When posts are first
 created, the modified time is
 [https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress/blob/4a1108b9f9da0a563402cf6c8a1cd103c441eeb3
 /wp-includes/post.php#L3147-L3153 set to the post date]. On subsequent
 updates, the modified time is changed to the current time.

 If you're only calling `wp_insert_post` a single time (to create the
 post), the post status is set to `publish`, and you're passing in a post
 date, then the modified time will be set to the supplied post date.
