Yes, it's not a file sync software which would just copy the files to another location as a replicated folder.
Acronis backups are created in proprietary Acronis .tib format and meant to be read only to maintain the integrity of the data in the backup as of the point in time the backup was created. You either have to have Acronis installed on the recovering system to mount or navigate the backup file, or use your offline recovery media and can restore files that way as well. If you do have Acronis installed on the 2nd pc though, it is pretty simple to just double click the backup .tib file and copy and paste from it. You can also right click the .tib file and "Mount" it so it shows up like an external hard drive would and copy and paste out of it too.
