It will not be automatically created for you, but you don't need to do it either. This is just a convention, that helps some people do some things. It's recommended that you make the branches/tags/trunk directories at the project level. For example, if you were Symantec, you might make something like this:

/
/BackupExec
/BackupExec/branches
/BackupExec/tags
/BackupExec/trunk (contains the active development code of BackupExec)
/Ghost
/Ghost/branches
/Ghost/tags
/Ghost/trunk (contains the active development code of Ghost)

...

Then, let's suppose you're a Ghost developer, and you reach a stable release version 13. You would do this:
        svn cp Ghost/trunk Ghost/tags/13

This way, developers are free to continue developing new things for Ghost 14 inside of trunk, while there is a "frozen" copy of 13 under tags/13

If some developers need to work on bug fixes for 13, they'd do this:
        svn cp Ghost/tags/13 Ghost/branches/13
        Do work on Ghost/branches/13, till 13.1 is ready.
        svn mv Ghost/branches/13 Ghost/tags/13.1
