That is the way it is stated. The point being that Jesus is deity.
But it was certainly the way those how witnessed what he said took it and what the Apostles wrote about him.
John 5:18 NIV
For this reason they tried all the more to kill him; not only was he breaking the Sabbath,
but he was even calling God his own Father, making himself equal with God.
John 1:1, 14 NIV
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. ...
14 The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us.
We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son,
who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.
Colossians 1:15-17 NIV
The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.
16 For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible,
whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him.
17 He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.

It's true that Jesus didn't just stand up and say point blank, "I am God." or "I am deity."Except that is stated no where.
But it was certainly the way those how witnessed what he said took it and what the Apostles wrote about him.
