Not sure what you mean by "throttling".
Energy is certainly lost in dropping pressure via a regulator. The entire
pressure drop (times volume) is wasted. It has nothing to do with the heat
contained in the compressed air itself. This should be obvious from
conservation of energy. But shop air users can be quite stubbornly
ignorant of physics.
