I don't use snapshots very often, but replying as a kind of "to the
best of my knowlege".
To use something like "dists/bullseye", "dists/bookworm" etc in that
URL it should become an official port first, yes.
You can use the same basic URLs as above but substitute
"archive/debian/" for "archive/debian-ports/", "dists/bullseye" for
"dists/unstable" and using "binary-riscv64" and it will work (the
timestamp is also a bit different, I think that it's done at one point
for the main archive and the other for the "ports" archive). Example:
https://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian-ports/20230316T202809Z/dists/unstable/main/binary-riscv64/Packages.xz
Does that work for you?
Obviously, packages missing or buggy can be a problem... but otherwise
it should be a close copy to "debian/unstable" of the main ports, that
due to the deep stage of the freeze for the upcoming stable, it should
be very similar to "debian/testing" and "debian/bookworm".
If you want something closer to "bullseye" you should use an older
timestamp and try your luck... most of the packages are available and
basically working for a long time, but the state of the archive today
is better than 2 years ago by the time of the release "bullseye".

No stupid questions, nothing to be sorry about :)
Cheers.
