Yes, this is normal behavior.

The SIM hotswap logic was introduced in later releases of the
ModemManager API, and in order to avoid needing to modify the users of
the MM API, the decision was taken to treat a SIM hotswap event as a
full modem object destruction followed by a new modem object creation.
The old modem object had the old SIM, while the newly created modem
object has the new one.
