If an Asana project does not have a 'To-do' or a 'Done' column, a default column of the missing type is created
As to whether or not a task is completed, is shown using status columns in Forecast, completed tasks in Asana projects with a 'board' layout, which are not placed in the column assumed to be the 'Done' column, will not be shown as completed when migrated to Forecast
