Hi Ben,

Yes it is.  The ball doesn't have to go over the net to be in.  You will see it happen sometimes in high level matches.  Sometimes they even get the ball to roll across the surface of the table.

Side of Table

If the ball hits any part of the top of the table then the ball is in play. If it only hits the side of the table then it is out.

The net is an obstacle, but it isnt a rule that says you need to pass the ball over the net
