Yes.
This is not really an "Apache thing", more a general "Unix thing".
Like any well-behaved daemon program, Apache detaches itself from its parent
process (the one who started it, such as your shell process).
This is so that whatever happens to the daemon later (a crash e.g.) would
not influence the process that started it.
If you do "ps -ef" on your system, you will see that many other processes do
the same thing.
