Hi,
Decoding the 100th packet alone can be equivalent in both situations only if
this packet is a keyframe. If not, FFmpeg will need all the packets up to the
first preceding key frame in order to be able to give you a frame with correct
content. I'm unsure whether other metadata like timestamp depend on the method
(although I don't think so).
