Yes. That is the XML semantics, as well as EMOF.

Of course it XML semantics if id property of xsd:idref type. But when I
generate Ecore model from Java classes, my id property has no connection
with idref schema type. So is it feasible to deduce type from eReference
and search object with given id among only objects wthis correspomding
of reference type? Besides, all information for that is available.

Alexey,
That's potentially feasible, but not directly supported by EMF.
Consider that you might have a base class X with two derived classes Y
and Z each of which has a different ID feature. Then you might have a
feature x of type X that refers to Y and Z by ID. In this case, you'd
not know if it was a Y or a Z so even Y and Z better have unique IDs.
So I wouldn't suggest trying to go down your path.
