Pretty much. I never look at the keyboard, and rarely mis-type. If I do then I don't need to look at the keyboard to correct myself, as I know the position of every key, I just backspace and hit the key I intended to hit in the first place.
And, as another commenter also mentioned, I don't use the layout that's printed on the keys anyway, so looking at the keyboard would not help.
None of this is particularly uncommon for anyone who can touch-type.

If you've used a computer for ten years and you still look, you too might fit into this category. You can fix it, it just takes a few weeks, just cover your hands with a cloth or other barrier so looking down won't help you reposition, and fix any typos using touch rather than looking. If you're in a real rush do the same thing, but now spin up a copy of Typing Of the Dead or similar typing tutor. PS - Also, yes, your speed will decrease initially. It slowly returns and will eventually overtake your looking speed.
