in Eagle, is a pad a plated through hole?
Yup, pretty much default in all PCB design programs.
I thought you were using the program beginning in “P”?
A pad doesn’t necessarily have a hole in it (SMD pads, for instance), but if it does it will be plated. Unplated holes are sometimes used.

thankyou,
not using the “P” one any more…too expensive for me
