As @Barney-15E has mentioned, that is all perfectly normal for macOS 10.15+.


See these Apple articles for changes to the drive layout which began with macOS 10.15+:

About the read-only system volume in macOS Catalina or later - Apple Support


Signed system volume security in iOS, iPadOS, and macOS - Apple Support


Unfortunately the Apple article does not show everything in the new drive layout. Here is a third party article with some details, but keep in mind Apple has been slightly modifying the layout with each major OS release since Catalina (10.15) so there may be some other slight differences to a Ventura layout. Apple Silicon Macs introduced even more changes, but Disk Utility won't show anything outside of the main APFS Container.
