I haven’t used torque or yaim but what you want to do in a fact is something
like this to determine installation.
if File.exists?('/path/to/config')
end
I don’t usually install anything on a system without doing it in puppet, so
I don’t typically write facts to find out if something is installed or not.

I can't: "torque" is a vital part of the middleware, which needs to be
installed and configured at the time of middleware installation. And n
the other hand, I use Puppet to prepare the environment for the
middleware to be installed (by yaim). After that installation (and
initial configuration), I wanna make sure that "config" file is always
there with correct values.

As I explained above, if the I create the [especially] the directory-
path, yaim will skip a things, thinking it's an upgrade or re-install,
even though installing for first time.
Hope, I've made it a bit clearer now. Cheers!!
