Yup, the starter gear 'pings' out to the flywheel, then spins, then as soon as you realise the key, the starter gear will go back to rest. All starters, on all cars do it the same way 
If it were to spin all of the time, it would cause premature wear on the starter motor

It would more than likely burn out or cause a fire which has been known to happen when a starter sticks.
