By default, I always see www and non-www pointing to public_html folder. I never had to create an alias just for pointing www and non-www point to one location. I guess it depends on type of hosting. Doesn't happen on shared as its pretty much setup already.
By htaccess rewrite I meant, using JUST one version of domain i.e. either www or non-www in order to prevent problems like duplicate content and cookies. For example, I setup non-www as preferred choice in htaccess then a user would be directed to non-www version always, doesn't matter if he enter www in the url.
Thats because your servers running whm/cpanel and it did it for you when you set up your domain on the server, thats why you have a sym linked dir named www when you ftp into your domain.
www and non www is not duplicate content, its the same content.
