Not always. Some parts may be new and some may be refurbished OE as well. Plus, it depends on the insurance policy.
My insurance used some OEM parts. The insurance did want to use an OE bumper cover that had been refurbished, but the shop was able to repair mine. They would not pay for a new bumper cover seeing as my car was 8 years old and had 100k+ miles at the time. Apparently, this is typical. I was happy they were able to repair my bumper as the guy at the shop told me the refurbished ones are fine, but sometimes due to the way they sit in storage, they may not line up as good as the original cover.
