That's about 99% of what is needed for an oil damper, and would be over-kill if it didn't actually have oil damping. I suspect that it does indeed have oil damping of some kind. And maybe the reason that don't mention that is that one of the bullet points for this fork is low maintenance, and oil dampers have a reputation for needing maintenance..
