At / and one level below, not deeper (or you are using a different shell than me, use ls -R attribute if you want to recurse). It is the shell, that is expanding the *, not ls and not something "inside Unix". The command above will be processed by the shell and ls is actually invoked as ls /bin /dev /etc /home /lib /opt /sbin /tmp /usr /var or similar.
