Yes, this is expected. By default XSD produces a set of C++ source files 
(that is, a header file and an implementation files) for each schema file 
instead of a set of files for each type as in Java. Also note that you 
will need to compile each schema file separately or you can use *.xsd
as the XSD compiler argument to compiler every schema file in the
current directory.

No, that's all you need. For your reference, here are the options that
we use to compile the FpML schemas in our tests:

--generate-polymorphic 
--root-element FpML 
--namespace-map http://www.fpml.org/2009/FpML-4-7=FpML_4_7 
--namespace-map http://www.w3.org/2000/09/xmldsig#=XMLDSig
