To build a pistol it should start as a virgin lower, now that doesn't mean you couldn't say buy a PSA pre-built lower that may have a stock on it when purchased. The mentioned PSA has not been assembled into a firearm configuration yet so one could remove the stock and proceed with a short upper to build a pistol as it would have been transferred as an "Other", not as a rifle.
The engraving on the lower has nothing to do with determining whether or not it's been assembled as a rifle or pistol, all has to do with how it was originally assembled. Your above paragraph of building a rifle and then deciding to go backwards into a pistol I cannot condone but only you would ultimately know. Lowers are still cheap.
