That's not true. rmdir -p only traverses as far as the argument allows, thus if it is a relative filename it won't try to traverse further up than the current directory (in absense of ".."). In other words, if "mkdir -p $f" did created all levels, "rmdir -p $f" afterwards will likely remove them all without any error.
