This is a common misunderstanding,what is polarized is the generator,not the regulator. A generator retains a slight magnetic charge in the iron field shoes. This retained magnetic charge in the field shoes is what tells a generator to charge either pos or neg ground. The reason they tell you to polarize the GENERATOR after working on the generator or regulator is that disturbing things can cause the polarity to reverse itself which is a disaster for the generator and regulator.
In your case,the fact that it charges correctly means that the generator polarity luckily did not change and all is well.
