Mine are exact mirrors of 2 disks. I just want to make sure this bit from `man zpool' is not referring to those kind of shared disks. And that I do NOT have to break the mirrors before export.

FWIW, I think "spare" is a term of art in this context. See http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19253-01/819-5461/6n7ht6qvt/index.html
I don't think a regular mirror is a spare. But if one of the mirrored drives fails, a spare could take its place (i.e. become "in use") -- then you might have a legitimate concern if that spare were also shared. See https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19120-01/open.solaris/817-2271/gcvcw/index.html for a discussion of _shared_ spares.
But there are others here with more expertise than I hope ever to have, so I can make no guarantees.
