The "it being a zfs dataset" refers to the target image. Either the live system 
or the argument to pkg -R. If either of those resolve to a zfs dataset 
resembling <pool>/ROOT/<beName> then recovery is enabled. 

The specific new feature pkg(1) needs is the knowledge of the namespace layout 
and the existence of libbe. I hope that answered your question.
