Yes, zram is activated, otherwise you wouldn't have had zram0 created.

Though you might not be using it...
If you want to use it for swap, you'll have to run `swapon -p 100 /dev/zram0`.
Well, '-p 100' isn't necessary, it's just to set the swap priority.

This should have set the size of zram0.

Cheers,
