As recommended by other people I have 'inoremap jj <ESC>' defined in

I would recommend something other than mapping jj to Esc (e.g. external
to Vim, map CapsLock to Esc), but to each his own.
A few days ago when I copy-n-paste a lot of text into vim, the result
was always wrong. It took me quite a while before I figured out that
there was a substring "jj" included in the text to be pasted. For now
I often :set paste before copying large text to avoid unexpected
behavior.
So I wonder if the `jj' mapping can be ignored when doing copy-n-paste
and only work when I'm typing from a keyboard.
Not in the general case, no. Vim running under a terminal doesn't
necessarily have a way to detect that you're copy-pasting (rather than
typing).
One thing that makes this easier is the 'pastetoggle' option (short=
'pt'). It allows you to assign a key to put you in 'paste' mode (where
lots of options are turned off).
See:
:help 'paste'
:help 'pastetoggle'
