It is doubtful that you did harm to it.

That procedure also hinges on how clean your brake fluid is. If you change it (flush system) regularly, you can generally just replace the pads without bleeding the system. The idea is obviously to keep the really bad junk out of the ABS modulator. If you opened the bleed screw, most of the fluid probably came out of there, since it would be the path of least resistance. I doubt you did any harm to it. If you're nervous, though, bleed the system with a large amount of fresh fluid. The fluid will cycle through the ABS modulator and into the calipers, giving you a fresh starting point.
