Yes, but you can have more than one active sieve script. The USER.sieve is
some kind of distributor that activates all your active scripts

$ cat .sieve/USER.sieve 
# USER Management Script
#
# This script includes the various active sieve scripts
# it is AUTOMATICALLY GENERATED. DO NOT EDIT MANUALLY!
# 
# For more information, see http://wiki.kolab.org/KEP:14#USER
#

require ["include"];

include :personal "mysieve";

But if i review the header, it looks like it probably is related to 
KDE (kmail or sieveeditor) which i use. Maybe this is a KDE only thing ?
I never digged into this, as it just works since ages :-)
