turning the ignition to "ON" while the engine has been started
I get my emission test done. It's really loud in the testing center b\c of exhaust fans running and other cars being tested on the treadmill. I get in my car and see that a\c and radio is off so I am thinking the engine must be off. I turn the key to start the car and I hear some noise from starter. dang...the engine is on. The noise is not loud..it doesn't sound like the grinding sound from old days. it's a loud ticking sound. I thought I heard from someone that Acura are set so the starter does not fully engage if the engine is on..preventing damage to starter. is this true ? can someone confirm this ?

You've got to be really stupid about it to damage the starter or the gears. The way the starter works, if the engine is turning faster than the starter, it forces the starter gear to disengage.
