Yes and no, some hold temporary information, but the most ones contain 
meta information.

Yes
http://wiki.dovecot.org/IndexFiles
http://wiki.dovecot.org/MailLocation/Maildir
http://wiki.dovecot.org/Quota/FS

duplicate the directory hierarchie and copy/move the files there, control 
files are dovecot-uidlist and subscriptions, the index files are 
dovecot.index*

Dovecot is creating the directory hierarchie per user itself, for new 
users. In this case /var/dovecot is a tmp-like directory with 1777 
permissions.

If you pre-create the directory per user, the standard permissions apply.
BTW: The direcotory is variable-expanded, 
http://wiki.dovecot.org/Variables, see the %u in the sample.
