No you need to create the folder from the Emacs side.

Example setup;

1. Install dropbox on your linux/windows box
2. Make sure its started (setsid ~/.dropbox-dist/dropboxd)
3. mkdir ~/Dropbox/syncdir
4. From emacs 
   (setq org-mobile-directory "~/Dropbox/syncdir")
   M-x org-mobile-push
5. From Android, Settings -> Configure Synchronizer -> Path
      /syncdir/index.org

6. From Android: Sync & Enjoy

I recently submitted a few patches for org-mobile android developer,
that fix a few annoying problems (ie back button resetting the view to
1st element), there should be a new version released soon with these fixes.
