The ceiling receptacle in our garage has a transformer plugged into it with a switch next to it. I turn the switch off and the smoke alarms start beeping. Obviously this is the power to the smokes alarms. The smokes do have a battery in each as well.
Is this typical?

No, because we don't all have the same model -- there are about 60,000 homes in TV.
Good point. In many (most?) homes in TV, the smoke alarms are hard wired to commercial power. The battery is backup for this. This configuration is different than my experience in homes up north where the battery was the only power source.
