Hello guys,

About one year ago I planted a seed of a peach tree in a little container with the idea of growing it as a bonsai. Today it is all growned up, I just don't know if it normal for it to have leafs so big and not showing any signal of a little branch.

I wish good year for everyone

Yes this is normal.

Contrary to popular belief, bonsai are not created by keeping plants in small pots, expecting the plants will then stay small and grow like a bonsai.

Yes, I thought that for having it in a small pot it wouldn't grow the same way. But now thinking twice about it, most of the trees are grown in small pots and only then planted on field

There are several ways to skin a cat. As such, there are several routes to bonsai.
You will need to do a bit reading up. The very slow routeis growing this all its life in a pot. The normally slow process is through growing this out in the ground and chopping back (Then still, think decade+)
