Yes, the points go back into your RR account. You are given the option of having the $5 or $10 TSA fee either refunded or issued as a credit in your RR account. The points go back to your account and there is no expiration date associated with them.

Plus using points, you pay the equivalent of about $10 less each way. Definitely use them at their current value since they get devalued after March 31, 2014 - they go from 60 points per $1 up to 70 points per $1.
