Yes, MWI is just an interpretation that is meant to make QM palatable to our macroscopic or classical-ish ideas on reality. There is no creation of separate worlds really. The superposition of states exists prior to and after an observation or decoherent event. It is just that with this "EVENT" an observer or decoherent set of information is carried along one superposition in the Hilbert space, while of course there are other such superpositions as well. Somehow, and Dieter Zeh had this idea of "many minds interpreation," we are conscious of one path.
