Welcome to Android Central! It's the same as with LTE and 3G before this -- it's just telling you that it has a cell signal. The cell radio will still be active even if the phone is using wi-fi (which is why poor cell signal can cause battery drain, even when on wi-fi).

Typically your phone will automatically opt to use WiFi connectivity over cellular connectivity when both are left enabled. But it is conditional, if the WiFi signal you're connecting to is too weak, your phone is going to be trying to negotiate between the two and using up more system resources than usual (taxing the battery). But no, in normal conditions you won't be using mobile data usage when your phone is connected to a good WiFi signal.
