I believe you're confusing virtual CPUs with logical CPUs.

The CPU number in your account record is for the virtual CPU of the
guest (with exception of the SYSTEM record). A virtual CPU is not tied
to a logical CPU, so your UNIPROD's CPU 00 gets dispatched on logical
CPU 00, 01 or 02 as z/VM likes.
It is even possible for a single virtual CPU to consume more cycles
than the average of any of your logical CPUs (when it hopped from one
to the other).
