If I saw Gabriel García Márquez I would assume (as you note) that the sort name should be Márquez, Gabriel Garcia. Is it true that with ALL Spanish names, the name in the middle should be treated as a part of the surname? If not, what is the general rule to determine whether the name is part of the surname or the first name?

Sadly no. You can find author with four words, two in fist name and two in last name, and author with three words: two in first name, and only one in last name. There are no rules. Thats why I need to import the sort author from metadata.
