Does it mean you can't get a rolling road remap as there is no live data available?

You can't remap it via the diagnostic port; the EPROM chip has to be removed from the ECU and blanked, then re-programmed.

(Or just swap the chip for a pre-programmed one).

Modern cars have flash-programmable ECUs that can be reprogrammed via the diagnostic port.
