Yep! That's how it's done. (see image).
All our buildings are built on slabs in my area. The plumbing will first go into a trench and be covered by dirt, then plastic sheeting, wire mesh amd then the heating coils. The pipes that do raise through the slab are insulated wiith Armoflex, (see image) Rest easy, your concerns have no basis in fact. Good luck, Tom
