No that's not the implcation no more than Jesus coming down from heaven means He ceased being God by no longer being omnipresent.
That verse does not say the Spirit left. It says "caused to be out of the middle" literally
The Spirit isn't being removed from the earth. The Spirit is being removed from the duty of restraining the lawless one
