It's lua 5.2.4 at the moment.  Its source code will reside in
sys/cddl/contrib/opensolaris/uts/common/fs/zfs/lua.  At run-time it will be in
zfs.ko or in kernel if it's built with ZFS option.  For time being, it's not
possible to turn it off individually, but if you don't include ZFS or any CDDL
licensed code at all, then you won't have Lua too.  But I think that it should
be possible to add a new knob specifically to compile ZFS without Lua, if
anybody wants it.
