Yes, the phone is streaming the music to the Chromecast device. This is not a bug: it can't be any other way since the music being streamed is stored on your phone; so the phone has to be the one to stream it to the Chromecast device.
This differs from, say, Pandora, where the Chromecast device receives the music stream from the Pandora servers directly. So in that case, the phone only has to be involved with controlling the stream (play, pause, volume). But in the case of MMA, the phone has to do it all.
