Yes. Typically one will only see a couple of Java-y Scala samples in the tutorials to show that you can write Scala the Java way to encourage Java developers to pick up Scala. However, in any real world applications and libraries you'll only see Scala-y Scala and that's where the disconnect is.
I thought I could start reading some Scala code after reading a few tutorials and chapters in a Scala book but that wasn't the case. :-) However, I'm starting to see the power of Scala, while my head hurts trying to fit itself to functional thinking and the rich and confusing syntax (to a beginner at least.)
