Claudia,

Is this "transfer" actually a copy and the original group stays the
same until I delete it (which will be soon after)?

That is correct.

The transfer agent makes no changes to the Yahoo Group. It only reads and copies information. Please browse GMF's wiki for plenty of info about doing the transfer, including this page:
/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Transfer-from-Yahoo-Groups

There's really no need for you to delete the Yahoo Group.

In earlier times I've advised leaving it there as an archive of its content, with its home page acting as a billboard advertising your "We've Moved" address at Groups.io.

The archive part of that will become moot in another month, if Yahoo follows through with its plan. In the mean time you can use the Y!group's control panel, Access Control tab, to remove member's ability to post new messages. Or, use the Moderation tab to put the group on moderation and use the reject with reply function to remind the members of the new posting address at Groups.io.

But the billboard idea may survive, if Yahoo does as it says and leaves in place an ability to find Yahoo Groups. My guess is that they'll leave the home pages of groups, and the directory:
