Yes, but that cost isn't zero for small strings.  It isn't too bad though.
Note, with a generational GC it all becomes trivial since you go to storing
the length of the array in the word before the array data, and then for small
arrays you put them in a page with only other small arrays.  Hence 1 word of
overhead total.
