Yes, this is expected behavior.  Aliases are system-wide, so they apply
by default to ALL domains.  Addresses for specific domains or hosts
belongs in the virtusertable.

If you want the virtusertable to be used strictly for certain domains
(or all domains) without consulting the aliases file, then you can
define a "catch all" for each of those domains with a destination of
error:nouser.  That will restrict the addresses for those domains to
only the addresses defined in the virtusertable.
