Calling /sharing/share_folder with just a path parameter does create a shared folder. I just tested it and it is working for me. The icon with two people on it that you mentioned does indicate that the folder is shared.
There are two things that may cause some confusion though:
1) In some cases, the share operation may be done asynchronously. The documentation has more information on that, including how to check on the job if so.
2) Even though the folder is "shared", it doesn't automatically grant access to anyone else. You need to add other members using /sharing/add_folder_member.
