No, the disk label doesn't contain any ZFS info, it just tells the disk
drivers (scsi_vhci, in this case) where the disk slices start/end.  Your
typical ZFS pool will be made up of identical drives/components, so copying
them is an easy way to make sure they're all the same (that's assuming you
have a working label to copy).
