Your puppet manifests are not scripts/sets of instructions. They define what end-state you want the node that applies the resource to be in when the agent has finished running. i.e. by specifying 'absent' in your package resource you're not explicitly telling puppet to uninstall the package. The package may already not be present, in which case puppet won't do anything at all (it has nothing to do). If the package is present though, puppet will indeed uninstall it.
