When importing a URDF model, how are package:// URIs parsed?

I'm using gzfactory to load a URDF in which mesh resources are specified using package://ros_package/relative/path URIs. Testing seems to indicate that Gazebo removes the package:// identifier and treats the remaining string as a relative filesystem path. Is this what's really going on under the hood?.

TIA
