Not at all. It means you have to create a Maildir in /etc/skel, which 
is the "reference" directory for useradd to create new user 
directories. Then, every time you run a useradd, it'll use a copy of 
/etc/skel to create their new user directory, with the files set to 
be owned by the new user.

Files and directories like Maildir and public_html (assuming you want 
your users to have web pages) can be put in /etc/skel to reduce your 
workload when creating users. Are you the primary administator for 
that machine?

man useradd explains this fairly well.
