If you look closely at the the pull_ars_inv_machine data exchange you will see that it only fetches machine CIs from CD that have changed since it last ran. You will find the last run date on a tab in the exchange and can reset this if, for some reason, you want to fetch all CIs.
This means that any machine CIs that have been deleted in the CD database will not be processed in the CMDB as a deleted CI does not present any data to AIE during the pull. The pull_keys_ars_inv_machine exchange is there simply to detect deleted machines. It does this by fetching (the keys of) all machine CIs in the CMDB and (the keys of) all machine CIs in CD. Those CIs that are in the CMDB but not in CD then have their MarkAsDeleted flags set to 'Yes'.
