No. He is only reimbursing you for expenses.
The question you didn't ask (maybe because you already know the answer) is: Does this expense count as eligible room & board for the 529 plan income exclusion? The answer is yes.

It’s likely to be less than off-campus students living independently, but should still be in excess of $1,000 per school year.
