Yes, that is true and intended. The basic idea is that all elements defined in myOntology are within the myOntology namespace - in fact, we assume that the whole set of elements is one huge single ontology. All ontology modules (e.g. the cell phone ontology) are actually just views (proper subsets). We hope to achieve this by a very lightweight meta-model, which we hope minimizes conflicts between ontology modules. So our approach is the direct opposite of attempts to contextualize the meaning of elements or what is being done in Cyc.
