By default it is but that's not required. If you create it with lxc-create, then the container name, the "lxc.utsname" in the config and the hostname of the system will be the same. After the container has been created, these can be changed independently. The question has also been raised (by me) over on the -devel list of setting the utsname and the host name to an FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name) based on the container name and the domain name of the host or by an independent template creation object (--fqdn), since it's generally desirable for those two to be an FQDN while keeping the container name to a simple name. I would not depend on the host name to match the container name unless this is a site convention you enforce locally.
