False. I use
(setq nnmail-spool-file 'procmail)
(setq nnmail-procmail-directory "~/Mail")
(setq nnmail-procmail-suffix ".spool") ;;; the default
and have procmail put the files into .spool files, and only
the .spool files are read by Gnus. Also, if you set
(setq nnmail-delete-incoming nil)
the incoming files will be renamed, but not deleted.

If you set
(setq gnus-check-new-newsgroups 'ask-server)
(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods '((nnml "")))
new nnml groups will be subscribed like new groups from your
nntp server. I use hierachical-interactive, so I get asked.
