Sure he was a producer. But that was mostly in name only. JJ has said multiple times that he was too busy to deal with the show in any real sense. That's why Carlton was brought in to help Damon run the show. About half way through season one, JJ was done contributing or even advising in any practical sense with the exception of an episode or two in Season Three.

Early in Season 1, Abrams was busy with producing and directing Mission: Impossible III. When Damon Lindelof was considering quitting Lost due to the sudden burden, Carlton Cuse talked him out of leaving and joined the show's staff as an executive producer. From this point on, Abrams stopped being directly involved with the show.

At the 2009 Hawaii International Film Festival, Lindelof stated that Abrams watches Lost as a fan, seeing the episodes for the first time as they air, and has "expressed an interest and curiosity in how the show is going to end."

Damon and Carlton threw out the show bible that JJ helped create and took the show in their own direction.
