Yup. That's the MTP. It doesn't expose low level details about the filesystem. In windows you see them as "Generic Hierarchical", see

I know that MTP in linux is broken as hell (ie: you can do a single thing at a given time, so copying files while exploring what's already on your device is a big nope). AFAICR windows support should be better, but not as good as a mass storage device.
Anyways for transfering big chunks of data ADB will do it faster, specially if there're a lot of tiny files. Indeed in linux ADB is the only way to bulk transfer data given how broken MTP is.
