You have to set it up to do what you want.  If you take a snapshot,
and then send deltas with the "zfs send -i" option, then you'll just
send the deltas over.  If you don't, then you'll end up sending
everything.

It's not automatic; you have to choose what you want to send.  See the
zfs(1M) man page for details.

Note also that the data format for the ZFS send/receive mechanism
isn't stable.  Unless these two systems are running exactly the same
OS build and are upgraded in lock-step fashion, you may run into
problems.
