Question Is the SPF lookup on my VPS working?

I feel a bit silly asking this, as I am afraid this might be a stupid question. I know very little about the precise workings of email.

All emails I receive seems to pass the SPF check with:

Code:
Received-SPF: pass (mail.my-server-hostname.com: localhost is always allowed.) client-ip=127.0.0.1; envelope-from=some.exampe.address@gmail.com; helo=localhost;

This goes for legitimate emails, but also always for spam type emails I receive. Which make me wonder whether the SPF check is working properly? I understand that emails form the localhost are always allowed. But in the example above the email was received from gmail.

Does anyone know if this is okay?
