At this specific case, there is an attribute at all RECORD_COMPONENTs that is "synthesised". Its definition is: "This attribute value must be TRUE if this RECORD_COMPONENT has been created in order to comply with this standard , but this point in the EHR hierarchy has no corresponding node in the EHR from which it was extracted."
So, as you said, in a 13606 extract we can have a mix of FOLDERs created to organise the information of the Extract and FOLDERs existing at the original EHR system, but they can be clearly distinguished by the synthesised attribute.
