Yes, it is.  But you can disable this behavior.  Look at the option
"--no-unquote", see
<http://www.gnu.org/software/tar/manual/html_node/Selecting-Archive-Members.html#input-name-quoting>.

You may put that option into the "TAR_OPTIONS" environment variable, see
<http://www.gnu.org/software/tar/manual/html_node/using-tar-options.html#SEC34>.
