The procmailrc is never parsed, executed, nor compiled.

Obviously it's parsed and "executed," otherwise there would be no
syntax rules and nothing would ever happen.  The execution is by
interpreter, not direct machine instructions, but it does execute.

The point, however, is that unlike (say) perl, the entire file is not
compiled before interpretation begins.
