No it's not a repetition draw.

It's simply winning a pawn with black by force by a check at the
end after which the e5 pawn is hung.

Then you get left with KRP KRP which is a trivial 0.00 score.

However, if you don't see that line, which is just 12 ply, then
you have of course a problem.

with 3 minutes a move and millions of nodes a second DT couldn't see it.

Repetition has nothing to do with it at all.
