As much as the flag is a legacy of a proud Pacific Island nation that commanded the respect of and recognition from the Western imperialist interests that wanted to subjugate it, yeah, it does absolutely have the Union Jack on it despite Hawai‘i never having been a part of Great Britain.

Rest assured, the Irish are not the only ones lamenting the Union Jack's presence on the Hawaiian flag...! There's a movement among some Native Hawaiians to adopt a flag without colonialist or imperialist ties, so you'll also see the Kānaka Maoli flag flown around the islands!

The Kānaka Maoli flag designed by Gene Simeona. Features green, red, and yellow stripes with a crossed paddle insignia at the center.

Folks interested should read up more on the Hawaiian sovereignty movement that calls for restoration of Hawai‘i's independence. (At the VERY least, I hope everyone reads up on the overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom to contextualize where and how exactly, it falls as part of the United States.
