Code:
proxmox-backup-client backup disk1.pxar:/path/on/zfs

Does backup client create automatically a snapshot of zfs dataset? (Are the backups "atomic"?)
 
No, the backup is code is independent of the underlying file system and as such can't use ZFS features directly. You can of course always write a script to take a snapshot, mount it somewhere, and then back that up.
