Agreed.
When I saw the pic, the first thing I thought to myself was, "Damn, Spider-Man absolutely nailed Tony!". Not once did I actually think, "OMG, Spider-Man just breached and destroyed Tony's armor!".
Also, the next panels don't show any external damage to the armor whatsoever nor any chunks missing from the armor. So there's nothing to lead me to believe that Spidey is strong enough to actually crack or even breach the armor.
Remember, Iron Man has routinely taken blows from the likes of Namor, the Hulk, and Thor.
It's just to add a dramatic effect to the blow, people.
