Unfortunately, no. This change apparently only affects how contacts
get added to the My Contacts or Suggested Contacts pseudo-groups. The
Contacts API still provides no way to distinguish between My Contacts
and Suggested Contacts.

You can see the bug report against this problem, plus some discussion
between API consumers like us and the Google API team here:

Trevor Johns at Google most recently said:

So we'll have to keep waiting for that feature to be added. If you'd
like to see it, please "star" the issue in Google's bug database:
