I decided to RTFM - looks like your answer is spot on:

I *think* I understand what you are saying - however does that not equate to
a mapping file?
I was hoping that castor would function without a mapping file and create a
default class structure, for example based on the element/attribute names in
the XML document.
I am a complete castor newb, so
