This is because iSCSI is a block-level protocol. It needs to 'talk' directly to blocks. The -V option tell zfs to create a virtual block device. Once you connect to it over iSCSI, you can format it like you would any block device.
If you want to connect to a zfs filesystem (instead of block device), you need to do so with something like NFS or CIFS.
