stupid oil change question

This morning, while changing the oil, I forgot to fill the new (spin on) 
filter before I screwed it to the block. I didn't realize my error until 
after I filled the crankcase. So, as usual, I removed the plugs and spun 
the engine on the starter until there was oil pressure. I replaced the 
plugs, started the engine and took the car for a spin around the block. 
Afterward, when I pulled the dip stick to check the oil level, I saw all 
sorts of tiny bubbles (almost like a foam) in the oil on the stick. I 
guess that's what happened to the air that was trapped inside the filter. 
This isn't a problem, is it? I assume that over time all the air will 
find its way out. Am I correct?  See I said it was a stupid question. 
Thanks in advance.
