Yep This is how a CS works.

The "State" (relevant to this thread) of CS does not change when some 
code of the thread is between enter and leave. So it is not "ignorant" 
but it does know that it "owns" the CS and is the only thread that is 
inside.

(You could say, regarding a certain thread the possible CS states are 
"I'm outside", "I'm inside", and "I'm waiting for entry". The states of 
the CS regarding other threads is not of interest for this thread, other 
that they are known not to be inside if this thread is inside.)
