No, not in the server side.

The mm_gdbus_* calls, if done in the server side, they just read
properties from the interface skeleton objects.

The mm_gdbus_* calls, if done in the client side, they read properties
from the interface proxy objects, and these properties get automatically
updated via DBus when they change.
