Yes, that is normal.  Each one of those tty's is tied to a given
character based login session, mapped keys F1 through F6.

The agetty program handles the login process and shell execution for a
given FX mapped character mode session.
(usually your only on F1.  If you want to switch to a character mode
session from X windows, press <CTRL><ALT><F1-6>.  to get back to X press
<ALT><F7>..  )
