Yes and there's also no need to.
Here's the strange thing (coming from a beginner's perspective), I can create a

LyX just takes this folder as default folder to look for BibTeX files, but you can store your BibTeX
file wherever you want.

I recommend not to do this, to keep your MiKTeX installation unchanged and to
avoid possible problems.
But, insert>citation does not show any references in my .bib, though the others
do appear and can be inserted as citations and appear in the references at the end
of the doc.
There must be, at the very least, a way to put the .bib files in the right
directory manually?
I guess you haven't loaded your BibTeX file in your LyX document. How this is done is explained in
LyX's User's Guide that you find in LyX's Help menu. If you still have problems, look for example at
the file "achemso.lyx" that you find in LyX's examples folder to see how there the BibTeX file
"biblioExample.bib" is loaded.
