Yes :)

It is normal behaviour and the recommendation is to have the
/etc/hostname set ot just the server name (without the domain).

No editing required. When the installer asks you this:

   Please enter the hostname for this system.
   
   The hostname is a single word that identifies your system to the
   network.

...you just enter your hostname. No more, no less.
