Q: if a.supplement contains heavy magnesium carbonate, does this get absorbed?

: Why are you taking this supplement? If you are eating a usual mixed diet you do not need magnesium or other mineral supplements. For healthy diet: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., exercise 30 minutes/day, drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs.
