Correct -- not at all. Can anybody speak toward the purpose of the
ARIN RR? An IRR not mirrored by the RADB (to act as a member) and not
mirroring every RR mirrored by the RADB (to hijack the top level) seems
pointless. I've been meaning to try to dig up a contact (from a
customer), but haven't had a chance...

auto-config tools, such as ratoolset, do not use the mirrored data,
only the origin data. one specifies the list of registries to
search. so, mirroring by the irr is neither necessary nor
sufficient, though it can be convenient for lookup by wetware.

I think you will find that they can be configured to use different sources but they are at the same registry so you need to find a registry that mirrors all the sources you want to query.
