That's correct. df lists the space on each partition seperately. For
example, part of the df output on this box is:
Filesystem 1024-blocks Used Available Capacity Mounted on
/dev/hda2 50749 31450 16679 65% /
/dev/hda6 347375 328500 935 100% /usr
/dev/hda7 347375 170477 93422 65% /usr/local
/dev/hdb2 106371 64321 36557 64% /usr/local/src/gcc

If you've created and mounted these new partitions correctly then
everything is working as you've set it up. However, you may still run
out of disk space if the packages you install put large parts of their
contents outside of the new partitions.
