GM's don't watch your text every second. That would be impossible. They do have your logs on server of your texted chats, every thing you bought or sold, everything your character did and any interactions you had in game. They can refer to it anytime, so that means if you get reported then all GM's has to do is refer to your chat logs for the time it was reported and take what action is appropriate. This makes lying to a GM is futile, when they can see these logs and know exactly what you said, did and when you did it and to who. I know this because I worked close to GM's in the past, to know a bit about protocol. Your circumstance I'm sure, was warranted enough for GM's to feel they should take some action towards.

And yes profanity filters are there, for adults with kids or younger. It's to protect Square legally, as much as it's there to protect players.
