Yes - you've installed a "sparse root" zone, the default which shares filesystems from the global zone in read-only mode, to decrease disk space usage and speed up zone creation (which has the advantage that if you want to make a change to something in /usr, you only need to do it in one place, and all the zones see that change automatically) As an alternative you can create a "whole-root" zone, where the system makes a separate copy of all files from the global zone, and puts them in the non-global zone.
