Correct, Postfix qualifies domain-less addresses with @$myorigin.

What's the point in mapping an address to itself?

You seem to be confusing virtual ALIAS domains with virtual MAILBOX
domains. Virtual aliases translate addresses to other addresses, which
isn't what you want here. Implement virtual_mailbox_maps so that it
returns the path to each user's mailbox. If you want aliases for the
users, implement virtual_alias_maps (but DO NOT list the domain in
virtual_alias_domains) to map e.g. firstname.lastn...@example.com to
loginn...@example.com.
