The refund is coming from your bank account, right? If so, then yes, it will be pending for some days until it clears and reaches PayPal.
In regards to returning of the item, did you request that of the buyer as the terms for giving a refund in the dispute? If not, then you're just refunding the buyer without a return required. If you both agree on refund upon return in the dispute, then don't issue a refund until you get the item back. If buyer refuses to or has not to return item within 20 days of opening dispute, you can escalate within those 20 days for PayPal to step in and review your case and ask the buyer to provide tracking number as proof of return delivery.
