Yes, with IKEv1 a fresh DH exchange is done in the Quick Mode
which derives the ESP keying material.

With IKEv2, the ESP DH parameter will only by used with the
CREATE_CHILD_SA message exchange during rekeying or if multiple
CHILD SAs are installed but not in the initial IKE_AUTH exchange
where the ESP keys for the first CHILD SA are derived from the
IKE DH secret.

That's normal. With a certain IKE version (don't remember which),
the DH-Group only is important when rekeying, because the initial setup of
a CHILD_SA doesn't include a DH exchange, it is only done when rekeying
the CHILD_SA.
