In OSM tagging, the definition isn't strongly tied to the literal English meaning, but rather to how it's used and interpreted. Any object that is tagged with "access=yes" and "barrier=*" could be said to be "not a barrier" since access would seem to be permitted for everyone. But we still use the barrier tag. I'd also suggest that a "permanently open gate" is still a gate that someone might close in future (e.g. if they change their access policy). Also, there's usually a gate-post on each side of the way, not just one side. So yes, I tag permanently-open gates on the way itself.
