I think you're still confused :)

It works like that, except the opposite way. With LAYOUT=fs the default
separator is '/' because the hierarchies are separated by the '/'
directory separator. With Maildir++ it's '.', because the separator in
disk is '.'.

So only the layout determines what hierarchy separator is in use. Of
course, each mailbox format has their default layout.
