"Touched", in this context, means even just /starting/ the instance.
The mothballed instances have been entirely off since the migration and
would require manual intervention to turn back on.

Every project admin was notified of the migration and that their
instances were mothballed.  You can know that they are by the simple
fact that they already don't work because they are off.  :-)

In practice, deleting those instances will have absolutely no effect on
anything since they are already not working; this is mostly about an
opportunity to recover data may have been stored on their local disks.
