Not quite. refs/heads/master there refers to the _local_ master branch,
but it is _local_ with respect to the origin repository, not your
repository. "git show-ref" is about showing refs in _your_ repository.

If you read Japanese, you may also want to read Ch.13 of my book ;-)
The refs/remotes/ hierarchy is used to store a copy of the branch tips
fetched from the named remotes (like "origin").
