It doesn't say you don't need the index files - it says you don't need the dovecot.index.CACHE file...
According to this they are not the same:
If we disable index files (INDEX=MEMORY), indexing is not switched off, just all structures are kept only in memory and index.cache file is not created. And http://wiki.dovecot.org/POP3Server says that: 'for POP3-only users there's no need to create dovecot.index.cache file at all'. So from this I conclude that if we do not want index.cache file created we have to disable index files with INDEX=MEMORY. We are disabling index files on disk, not indexing.
