No, they can go into other people's directories by default. The default umask on FreeBSD is 022, which means that all users files (with certain exceptions like .rhosts and others) are 644 and directories are 755. Both of which are world readable. I typically change the umask for my account to 027, that way others in the wheel group can see files I create, but others cannot. For more information on the way modes work, you should read the chmod and umask man pages.
