Not exactly. You take damage even if you block an attack. an example is Kenpachi, his body is so tough when attacking him you take damage while he defends against it.

Another is Blutsauger, when it is filled with power of existence, even if you parry the attack or guard against it blutsauger will still inflict damage to you even though your defense hasn't been bypassed or penetrated.

Damage reduction just means the damage you normally take is reduced you still feel it. this power means you actually take damage even if you defend against the attack, even if the attack doesn't hit you you still take damage from it.
