Yes, this is documented in the config:
https://github.com/freebsd/poudriere/blob/acde697efbe6f857c9b00bc90737dd2d97c95ba5/src/etc/poudriere.conf.sample#L287

"Begin Environment" is the environment that Poudriere itself was
started in, the host one. Also note that when you do "testport -i" and
get into the jail, you'll be given root even if nobody was used during
building.
