Does this mean that splitting a password protected PDF effectively disables
password protection?

According to the usage, it should be able to (although it won't encrypt
when saving):
Usage: java -jar pdfbox-app-x.y.z.jar PDFSplit [options] <inputfile>
Options:
-password <password> : Password to decrypt document
-split <integer> : split after this many pages (default 1, if
startPage and endPage are unset)
-startPage <integer> : start page
-endPage <integer> : end page
-outputPrefix <prefix> : Filename prefix for split files
<inputfile> : The PDF document to use
In 3.0:
Usage: pdfbox pdfsplit [-hV] [-password[=<password>]] [-endPage=<endPage>]
-i=<infile> [-outputPrefix=<outputPrefix>]
[-split=<split>] [-startPage=<startPage>]
-endPage=<endPage> end page.
-h, --help Show this help message and exit.
-i, --input=<infile> the PDF file to split
-outputPrefix=<outputPrefix>
the filename prefix for split files.
-password[=<password>]
the password to decrypt the document.
-split=<split> split after this many pages (default 1, if
startPage
and endPage are unset).
-startPage=<startPage>
start page.
-V, --version Print version information and exit.
