No, those files aren't linked.  Notice the leading "1" in the hard-link
column which would be a "2" if they were hard-linked to each other.  The
reason they are not linked together is that you didn't use --times (-t)
in your rsync copy, so they ended up needing different timestamps, and
rsync can only hard-link files that have identical attributes.
