Yes, it's by design.

If you want the directory "Sandbox" to also end up in the repository, you would need to say so in the URL, e.g.:

svn import /local/path/to/Sandbox svn://X.XX.XXX.XXX/Sandbox_SVN_Repo/Sandbox

For some circumstances, you may find using the "in-place import" method to be more straightforward than the "svn import" method:
