Yes, all objectives are also included in the set of rows as if they
were constraints. You can distinguish them by the row type, which is
GLP_FR unlike other rows, or by theirs names. If necessary, such rows
can be removed from the model with glp_del_rows.

Coefficients of the very first objective in the model are used as
objective coefficients in the problem object.
