Yes, those are bind-mounts.  You can bind-mount a directory onto
another directory.  

It is similar to symlinking in terms of your ability to access the
data, but the difference is that it is done without using a symlink, so
that the same data becomes accessible at two different directories or
mountpoints.

See...

  $ man mount

... for details.
