Are State Plane Coordinates always derived from longitude and latitude?

Do state plane coordinates always begin as longitude and latitude?

In other words, they are not another system that can be calculated without Long. and Lat., correct?

I guess I'm saying, back in 1930+ they came up with the State Plane system. To make that work, however, they had to start with L&L. Today, I am guessing I can simply compare it to a database. But if for example, I have a GPS device and I want to know the Plane Coordinate, I have to convert it.
