I think this is the serialization.
Do batch job behave similarly? I suppose one might wait for initiation until
the earlier one DEQs.
Careful, you might find a reason to like JCL!
Yes, JCL ensures the resources are available before the job starts (but
not before initiation). IMHO JCL and dataset serialization is one of the
key but under-appreciated features of z/OS. It's always frustrating on
other platforms where you have to manage serialization yourself, and
hope that everyone else does it the same way.
