The purity of IPv6 doesn't want NAT. Therefore, yes, all of those devices are supposed to have public addresses.
We can debate whether that's a good thing or a bad thing, but that is the way IPv6 is supposed to work.

If you want a device to be inaccessible by other devices, throw in a firewall. NAT is just a firewall with packet-modifying capabilities anyways.
