That is correct.
If you want to create the "path" Somename/Foo/Bar/Baz (as seen by the IMAP
client), even if only Somename and Baz contains messages, you must have the
entire "path", that is tour mailbox directory must contain the directories:
.Somename
.Somename.Foo
.Somename.Foo.Bar
.Somename.Foo.Bar.Baz
Of course each of the directories will contain cur, tmp, new and Dovecot files
