no damage to DPF , the reprogramming should have put your EPA 10 back to an EPA 07 (just dpf) so it should have been performing regens just no def injection and no SCR inputs
DEF is also injected after the DPF and only reacts with the decomp tube and SCR so this should not cause issues with the DPF
never looked at the actual reprogramming for no header this is just a guess, can't see them doing a complete delete of all emissions, hippies would lose their mines, your dealer should be able to answer this though

I know when we had our SCR program override, they told us to still fill the DEF tank with every fuel fill up. The temporary override will disable the DEF gauge, DEF heater circuit, and quality sensor from working, but the aftertreatment system still uses the DPF sensors and will still inject DEF into the system for regens.
