Correct. Aggregating just the song files from different Album directories into a single directory will not work with the thumbnail generator. For example
/Album1
songA
/Album2
songB
/Album3
songC
to
/MySongs
songA
songB
songC
would generate a single thumbnail image using the embedded cover in songC. The thumbnail image file would be named using an md5 hash of the directory containing songC i.e. "MySongs" and then stored in the the thumbnail cache on the server.

In the client Browser, the covers displayed on the Albums by Artist panel are derived by again computing the m5 hash of the directory containing the song and then forming this into a URL
