Yes, this was build at T3UXW09 with best practices in mind.

The structure look wired at first, but follow some deep logic.
Actually if you are new to a project, it helps to find stuff, because 
everything is stored in a certain order.

For a small project, this is overkill.
For a large project, you better store your TS inside files and include 
those, because then you can version them.

It is actually good practice to follow this approach because most likely 
your project will grow and you will loose the overview over where certain TS 
comes from.

Another - quite similar - approach is it to store TS in parts for each 
marker you replace, all on one folder.

Both approaches have in common that you can easily port whole TS trees from 
one site to another via the import/export feature of TYPO3.

Cheers
