I believe this is common in motorcycle maintenance, I have heard in some places that, once you get the piston outside the cylinder there is no way back, you need to resurface the cylinder and get a new piston and seals, can I trust this?

You can absolutely reuse the piston if it isn't damaged.

There are piston compressor tools dedicated to slide the piston back into the cylinder.
