Yes, it's common in most English speaking countries, but Samwise is literally an employee of the Shire Baggins.

The Gamgees are of a lower social class than the Baggins. Samwise' father, The Old Gaffer, also worked at Bag End. Frodo has generational wealth, not just from Bilbos adventure with the Dragon, but his Mother was well-to-do also. Bilbo and Frodo had servants, groundskeepers, and housekeepers. That doesn't even include the party staff they hired on.

He also calls himself "your Sam", and Frodo is called his master even when the narrator is speaking:

he had stuck to his master all the way; that was what he had chiefly come for, and he would still stick to him. His master would not go to Mordor alone.
