Yes. The reason being that when, in the past, the collections file was in the public partition, people were constantly accidentally deleting it and losing all their collections. At one time it was probably the most commonly asked question on the Kindle forum here at MR. So to stop people doing that, Amazon moved the collections data file into the system partition, and made it inaccessible to the USB-mounted drive. The issue of third-party tools wanting to create collections was not terribly high on Amazon's list of priorities, I'd guess.
