Yes, this is by design.
Word's idea of sections is rather different from LO's. LO has a pyramid style
of sections, while Word has an array of sections.

So LO's bottom layer of the pyramid is "unspecified", but it still exists. And
since it is a pyramid, the start of the document is the same style as the end
of the document - but that doesn't fit well at all with Word's sequential
concept. So if sections are used, EVERYTHING tends to be specified, including
the beginning and the end.

LO splits the stuff from a Word-section between Sections and Page Styles (since
Word doesn't have page styles). This is especially important for anything to do
with columns, or forms.
