Are indexes temporary files ? Should i migrate

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

anything  in my existing setup !

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*

Nad finally should i create a directory for every user
in /var/dovecot/ ?

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.
