If I understand your question correctly, then no, since each one is a
different type of record, hence the half dozen IMA record types:
#define AUDIT_INTEGRITY_DATA        1800 /* Data integrity verification */
#define AUDIT_INTEGRITY_METADATA    1801 /* Metadata integrity verification */
#define AUDIT_INTEGRITY_STATUS      1802 /* Integrity enable status */
#define AUDIT_INTEGRITY_HASH        1803 /* Integrity HASH type */
#define AUDIT_INTEGRITY_PCR         1804 /* PCR invalidation msgs */
#define AUDIT_INTEGRITY_RULE        1805 /* policy rule */

As far as I can tell, all the other IMA audit record types are fine.
