About many-to-many object link type

When using the “many-to-many” object link type, I understand that a join table is created to connect the objects.

However, when I created a join table in the Ontology Manager using sample data, only the column names appeared — no data was populated inside the table. (pic2)

The documentation states that using the “Create Join Table” option generates a dataset with the correct schema based on the primary keys of the two selected object types.

Is it expected behavior that only the dataset (schema) is created and that the table does not contain any data?

Yes, this is expected. It utilizes user edits and those will not be visible in the dataset.
