It's neither a requirement nor a norm. You can grow into the role while holding the full appointment. You don't necessarily have to already be good at the job to be given the title.
Internal appointments these days are mainly used to give GEO3s some exposure to the job before they get promoted to GEO4 (which is when they can be appointed).
