Yes, that's exactly what it is. There's no point calling it fsck because fsck fixes individual filesystems, while ZFS fixups need to happen at the volume level (at volume import time). It's true that this should have been in ZFS from the word go. But it's there now, and that's what matters, IMO. It's also true that this was never necessary with hardware that doesn't lie, but it's good to have it anyways, and is critical for personal systems such as laptops.
