Steps to reproduce

As a user, I want _exist to accurately reflect whether a PSResource exists in the requested scope, so that DSC correctly reports and enforces the desired state when scope matters.

The current behavior looks like when a resource entry specifies no scope, ConvertInputToPSResource silently defaults it to CurrentUser. However, GetPSResourceList fetches resources from both scopes and matches on name + version only, totally ignoring the scope. This means when we run, for example, the following document:

resources:
- name: PSResourceList scope test
  type: Microsoft.PowerShell.PSResourceGet/PSResourceList
  properties:
    repositoryName: PSGallery
    resources:
    - name: Pester
      version: '5.7.1'

And Pester is installed in AllUsers scope, it returns:

{ "name": "Pester", "version": "5.7.1", "scope": "AllUsers", "_exist": true }

But the effective desired state has scope: CurrentUser. The resource reports _exist: true with the wrong scope, and a subsequent set will correctly detect a mismatch and reinstall — but the get output is misleading, and _inDesiredState disagreement is confusing.

Expected behavior
`_exist` should reflect whether an instance matching the effective desired scope exists.
Actual behavior
