I think that could be pretty standard, at least in this part of NA.
My current job I could say almost the same thing happened. The guy who recruited me (we have a history) convinced the owner I was the guy for the job, and the job was high enough level to be important to the company (a couch would be more important than me to my company, but similar idea) that the owner personally met with me and made me feel like I was their guy. I knew it was probably mostly based on the recommendation to him, but that's how owners are.
Most places I've worked the owners have been quite interactive in the high level decisions. And most times it's not in a bad way, the guy probably doesn't even understand half of what I'm talking about, but he doesn't care what I decide, he cares how I've come to my decision and how I justify my decision, then he goes out and tells everyone his decision makes us the best company around
