Depending on what JCL you are looking at. The zosmf file system should have been delivered along with your z/OS software since it is a part of the base product. That ZFS should be mounted at /usr/lpp/zosmf and also fully populated. It contains the code needed to run zosmf. You should not need to run the JCL which does this ZFS creation and directory creation.
Having said that, there is a ZFS to be created for each zosmf configuration. This file system will contain the configuration and other data repositories like logs, etc. It will be mounted under /global/zosmf for a sysplex type operation, or under /var for an individual system operation. That file system will be populated as a part of your zosmf configuraion and startup.
