Indeed it is, all of the damage your sword received in a non-pvp area is just clientside. What happens is you hit someone, and the server stops that someone from gaining damage, while your client thinks he just hit someone, so you lose durability on your client, but on the server you don't. The tool repairs simply because the server sends his data to the client and the client updates accordingly.
Works with pickaxes, shovels, and tools like that when you break blocks in areas that you don't have perms in.
