No, I think the iPhone just saves the last 50 messages in a folder, and that may only be for some folders and only when you visit them, I'm not sure about that. It also just saves the header information and just a bit of the text, so you shouldn't worry about the All folder taking up too much space on your phone.
I'm not sure about the iPhone app, but with PC apps, you can subscribe to some folders to work off line. If you do this with the All folder then those messages would take up space on your PC.
