INBOX doesn't /have/ to be the parent folder, but it depends on the
IMAP server's design. For example, folders in courier are all
sub-folders of INBOX unless they appear in a different namespace, such
as #shared as an example. Then look at cyrus or uw-imap for an
example. Both of those allow folders to be "level" with the INBOX. It
all really depends on the implementation.
