We do try to take the raid levels into account during df, but only for
the space that is already allocated.

This does reflect the space that is allocated, but the drive itself may
have more free space. btrfs filesystem show will give you a few more
details.
Basically btrfs allocates from the drive in chunks of about 1GB and then
puts the file data or metadata into those chunks. So if you do a mkfs
and then create one file, you might have 1TB of space on the drive that
hasn't been allocated yet.
