Not at all: you can have a schema that validates numbers using those digits, it's just not the same type as xs:integer but that isn't really a hardship.
This is not really any different to saying that the xs:dateTime syntax does not prevent you having <date>17th December</date> in a document.
(Actually it's a lot easier to have a schema validate localised digits than it is to validate localised dates)

It is like saying that schema dateTime typing means you can not have <date>17th December</date>
