The returned image is the uncompressed image. Compression refers to the projection on a lower dimensional vector embedding that is quantized around a set of centers. This can be stored and uncompressed through the decoder at a later stage, which requires you to save the parameters of the decoder on disk somewhere, so you would only save memory if you had a large amount of images you wanted to compress/decompress.
