I assume that there are some types/provider who exactly do this. I just have no
example at hand.

The type describes the resource parameters and its data validation.
Additionally one can add autorequires to other resource types.
Whether a type is ensurable or not has no impact on the provider. Within a type
it is just the ensurable declaration.
When a type is ensurable you wi have destroy and create methods in the provider.
Within the provider you specify getters (how to read existing data) and setters
(how to set new data).
Maybe you want to have a look at my PuppetConf talk "Moving from exec to types
and providers". You can find it at Puppet youtube channel.
There I describe getters and setters.
