Generally 4K sector drives support emulation of 512b mode (via the "Advanced Format" thing), so when accessed from the BIOS (which is what GRUB does), they will look and smell like an old-school IDE drive. ZFS internally is sector size agnostic, being ashift=12 simply means that 1<<12 is the smallest block you'll ever see in ZFS.
