Yes, currently you need two routes per resource.
Did you follow step 3 of the RestTest example? "Activate the package 
SubRoutes by copying the following snippet on top of your 
Configuration/Routes.yaml file".

Note that the AbstractRestController will only "rewrite" the action if 
the requested action is "index" (see [1]).
Note² The REST support in Flow is still experimental and subject to 
change. Once [2] is resolved you probably won't need to write custom 
routes any longer.

Thank you, I'm glad that it helps you and I'll provide some more 
advanced examples soon.
