FileVault encrypts Data volume as well?

I'm prepping my computer for re-sale. In Preferences it says: FileVault is turned on for the disk "Macintosh HD".


When I open the Disk Utility app, I see the Apple SSD has under it Container disk1, and under Container disk1 there are two volumes: Macintosh HD and Macintosh HD-Data.


My question is: when Preferences says FileVault is turned on for Macintosh HD, does that mean Macintosh HD-Data is also encrypted?
