No, you just use the IP addresses of the interface to your upstream as "locators". 
Those addresses are there anyway, right?
So using LISP is not adding anything.

I still do not see this duplication (may be I need more coffee this morning..)
You do not need to modify anything in the PA space of your provider. Those resources are there and are used to make 
your block reachable also without LISP.
