Yes, but those sockets will be created on dozens, if not hundreds of separate
servers in a server farm. From your point of view a server farm looks like a
single server, but it spreads the connection load to many servers.

That is not a web server question, but a TCP/IP question better asked in another
news group. Or simply read up on how a TCP connection works.
