Hence my "Yes". What's in the filesystem matters when you build
initramfs, and what's in the ramfs matters when you actually resume.

As far as finding the swap partition with fstab, ISTR a workaround.
Without the details, you make the swap partition with a tiny
filesystem in it, which gives it a stable UUID and LABEL. You then
specify an offset in every reference to its use, which skips over
the filesystem at its start.
That just leaves you with preserving the encryption key.
