No, from the article 'Solaris Zones, BSD Jails, and VMs are first class concepts.' It's just happens that jail as a name, jail as a cmd tool and jail as a system call bears the same name. Nothing stops one to implement superfancyjails on top of that system call. Same story with Linux containers, we have clone(), unshare(), and setns() and couple of popular implementations on top of them.
Thus, lets say, 'man systemd-nspawn' container is _thing_ as 'man 8 jail' is _thing_
