Yes, that's exactly what it does. It scans for other image types as well, and metadata xml files. As there are different image types for different things, a standard is required for correct identification. As the plugin is for a server that manages video and audio, it has to use conventions recognized by the server to display the desired data and images.

There are other ways of getting the images in there (manual management via the server web interface) but it can be faster to do them manually for some things. MB also has the option to store the data in the database and server file system, but many of us prefer to keep everything together.
