Yes, that is how the preinstalled version is set up to work, i.e., boot first from SD card. This is stated to be temporary through a temporary boot file. Permanent opertion is to boot first from the eMMC. The system is constructred to run off the eMMC memory not an SD card. SD card is for extra storage if needed. Why put installed memory in if it is not to be used.
