This is not true.

root@fex:~# mount | grep /mnt/test
/dev/sdc1 on /mnt/test type btrfs (rw,relatime,space_cache,subvolid=5,subvol=/)

root@fex:~# btrfs subvol show /mnt/test
/mnt/test is toplevel subvolume

root@fex:~# btrfs subvolume snapshot -r /mnt/test /mnt/test/.snapshot/test
Create a readonly snapshot of '/mnt/test' in '/mnt/test/.snapshot/test'

root@fex:~# stat --format=%i /mnt/test
256

root@fex:~# stat --format=%i /mnt/test/.snapshot/test
256

No difference: both have inode=256
