Oh, absolutely, you learned it through practice instead of pure memorization, which overall tends to be a better strategy. But just like chess masters tend to mostly learn game positions (through practice, note trying to do rote memorization) and not some advanced logic, I am pretty sure you learned the specific results and did not learn some subconscious algorithm deeper than "lookup 9*5 in the stored table".
