If your navigation rules imply a <redirect/> and you don't have redirect tracker manager enabled (part of tomahawk), you woul indeed get 2 request from browser and 2 invocation of backing beans:
Browser: submit form (request 1) JSF: Received, apply request values (eventually create on demand request scoped beans), validate, execut action, get navigation rule, send a "redirect" to new location to browser Browser, gets the redirect rule, request the new location from JSF (request 2) JSF: receive a get, create view, eventually create request scoped beans on demand, render response.
