Hi Qiu, The diagram isn't wrong, just missing some detail. You have a physical host which you cable to and a logical host (the hypervisor) which CloudStack would talk to.
Bearing in mind that it’s an advanced zone, the public network would be on a VLAN which would be trunked through to the instances within the physical hosts, but not to the logical hosts' hypervisor. - so the logical host doesn't need direct public internet, but the physical hosts will be connected to the public internet with the traffic contained within a specified VLAN.
