Yes, that's right.

A router has never been able to detect duplicate IP addresses. It's not its 
job. When the first packet comes in to the router from one of the devices 
assigned to 10.10.1.5, the router would add the source addresses to its ARP 
cache (assuming it's doing ARP gleaning) or the first time it sent to the 
IP address it would ARP and get the MAC address from the first response.

If you use DHCP you shouldn't get duplicates anyway. DHCP checks for 
duplicates.
