Yes, the Shared albums are using separate copies of the shared photos. When you drag a photo from a Shared album to an album, it will be imported as a new photo. You can check, if it worked, by ctrl-clicking or right-clicking the photo in the shared album.
- If you are seeing the option "Show in Moments" the photo has been imported to your Photos Library. Click this option to see the imported version in the moments.
- If you are still seeing "Import" instead, click "Import" to save it to your Library. Then you should now be seeing "Show in Moments":
