The Container does the global space in the ZFS free up automatically or is it necessary to do some manual operation?

With Containers, when files are deleted, does the global space in the ZFS free up automatically or is it necessary to do some manual operation?
 
You usually trim a LXC by running pct fstrim <YourVMID> but that won't work with ZFS. I was told that this isn't needed when using ZFS, as datasets are used and ZFS will use discard for them on its own.
