Correct, although the definition of vdev is not restricted to disks.

That's RAID1+0. You are mirroring devices and them striping the mirrors
together.

AFAIK, RAID0+1 is not supported since a vdev can only be of type disk,
mirror or raidz. And all vdevs are stripped together. Someone more
experienced in ZFS can probably confirm/deny this.
