No, it's done by pam_systemd specifically.
The main purpose of pam_systemd is to create a user session and move the
process to the session's own cgroup (from the weston.service cgroup). As a
result systemd no longer considers it as belonging to the weston.service
unit, but to session-c123.scope or such.)
(The same happens with all other interactive login types -- e.g. when you
log in at the console, you get moved out of getty@.service and into your
own cgroup.)

Okay, thanks. So that's just hardwired behavior that we should expect? I
tried looking around the source to pam_systemd a bit, but quickly lost
track of the way that the 'type', 'class', and other parameters to logind's
CreateSession() eventually interact with systemd recordkeeping.
