Yep, Johnson, Miranda and the Chief are elsewhere dealing with Brutes and a handful of crazy Profits.
As for Firefight... Firefight is intended to play upon events which will occur during the single player story. Firefight offers greater context to the campaign experience.
The inclusion of Johnson should not be viewed as a toy one might find in their cereal box. The reason he is in this game, as a unlock-able Firefight character, should perhaps foreshadow additional reference points between these two (H2 & ODST) stories.
Bungie doesn't do 'cereal box' toys. With Bungie, there is a purpose to everything. Good question OP.
