I know I am in sequential mode.

That the Geant4 libraries linked against were built with multithreading support. It’s still possible to build/run a fully sequential application with libraries built in MT mode. Running like this may have a slight performance penalty compared to “pure” sequential, but that should be small (and only measurable by profiling the concrete application).
