Not necessarily. In fact, I think mounting will always work regardless of whether the directory has contents or not. E.g. I have fall-back contents for my /home directory in the root file system, for cases when mounting the encrypted partition for it fails. On my laptop, though, not on the Kindle. But it would work.
However, given what flow_ is writing, I guess there's still some misunderstanding about the nature of the different partitions of the Kindle and the USB export mechanism around.
