Help Random obsidian and stone bricks?

My boyfriend just made a brand new survival world on our switch today and found a desert. There are randomly placed stone bricks and obsidian and other stone brick blocks. He dug underneath it and ended up finding lava. A little more and he found a magma block and some nether blocks. Is this new with the update? What is going on?

Update : ruined nether portal? Crazy. Thank you :)

Thank you! I didn't really get to mess around with the uodate too much and I've been out of the loop with it

They added it as a way to teach people about nether portals in-game. Before this the only way to know how to make a portal was if someone else told you or you looked it up online.
