For all general purposes, Yes, they are fully cooked. It is almost like ham once the smoking process is complete. The best way to serve them is either lightly browned in a frying pan or under a broiler for a few minutes. Do not over cook. You can sever them with any cabbagey type vegetable (i.e sauteed red cabbage, Sauer Kraut). Any sweet glaze will give them a delicious variation of taste by using either Pineapple, Sliced apples, Cherries, etc with some brown sugar and butter.
One caveat though, I bought some today out of the meat counter at the local shop. They were right next to the raw pork chops and ground sausage, which is a common place to find them. I'm certainly not going to eat them right out of the package. Heat them in a skillet or under the broiler until the outer surface is hot.

I enjoy my chops a bit pink in the center to ensure they are not tough. I think I'm one of a few who actually orders their pork med. rare.
