Is there any chance to configure dovecot to hide those folders to iOS?
I suppose, the mail app under iOS does display all mailboxs, the other ones display subscribed ones only.
Because:
mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir:INBOX=~/Maildir/Inbox:LAYOUT=fs:CONTROL=~/Maildir/.CONTROL:INDEX=~/Maildir/.INDEX
~/Maildir is your top mailbox directory. Then you add Inbox, control and indexes into the very same tree. Moreover control and index have names with a leading dot, which means "is a mailbox" in Maildir.
Why did you places control and index into a different tree at all, if you place them into the mailbox storage anyway?
Either move them to ~/[.]control and ~/[.]index (with or without leading dot) or remove the settings at all and join control and index with the existing hierarchie.

As a general rule, it is a good idea to have separate Mailformat directory (such as Maildir or Mail) under mail_home which contains only your Maildir, sdbox, mdbox whatever format files only, and keep control and index *OUT* of this directory. Same goes for sieve. This is because, as seen above, Maildir contents can be mistakenly interpreted as mail folders, causing problems.
So avoid this:
mail_home=/var/mail/%u mail_location=/var/mail/%u
instead use
mail_home=/var/mail/%u mail_location=Maildir:~/Maildir
