yes.

fre
The man page [1] explicitly states that if the file doesn't exist, -f
will not show an error message nor alter the exit code.
-f Attempt to remove the files without prompting for confirmation,
regardless of the file's permissions. If the file does not exist, do
not display a diagnostic message
I always assumed -f would only force removal, not modify the exit code.
No bug then, working as intended, all good.
Cheers

You used -f which means rm will not complain if a file or directory
cannot be deleted (or does not exist in the first place).
