No, technically it doesn't mean he was unbanned. What you mean is practically, not technically. For practical purposes, he is unbanned, but technically, his ban expired, which is different.

Bans expiring are not contingent on apologies or remorse. If, however, disruptive behavior is continued, it will result in another ban—probably a longer one.
