If you're using EFI labels, yes (VTOC labels are not endian neutral).
ZFS will automatically convert endianness from the on-disk format, and

now, when you say "data", you just mean "metadata", right?
Yes. ZFS has no knowledge of the layout of any structured records
written by applications, so it can't byteswap user data.
