Whose responsibility is it to get detected spam delivered into the
correct folder?  Dovecot deliver is typically used to deliver into the
Inbox(es).  It would be involved.

Note that I am not saying "responsibility".  There are features that
can be used (or there aren't, as the case may be).  Documenting them
would be helpful.  Dovecot has documentation for many other things.
If it had documentation on ... dealing with (I'll use that term
instead of fighting, as maybe that will be clearer to you) ... spam
aspects (like folder selection aspects), that would be helpful.
