It's not tricking, but it is deceptive since they haven't chosen to submit. The current mental model of forms are to save data entries when you actively submit.
Yes, there are some settings panels that automatically save changes, but I have never seen it for forms.
If there's an submit button on that form then that would be an even stronger signification to the user that nothing will be sent to the servers until you click that button.
