I think so.

Because that is only triggered if the pool gets touched somehow, ie. by
means of a new backup or (in your case) with that restore.
But there is a workaround, say "status dir days=nnn" in bconsole, this
should trigger a recalc. I'm not completely sure about the semantics of
days=nnn, but I think, it works in that way that bacula tries to evaluate
tape usage for the amount of days, and if it goes over the next regular use
date for the respective pool, the state gets recalculated.
I.e, if you do a backup to the pool in question every seven days, then
running the above the time the use duration has expired with days=7 (or
bigger) should do the trick.
