That's correct. You can also use files_list_folder and files_list_folder_continue to list the contents of any folder. For example, to list the contents of the root folder for your app, supply a path value of the empty string "". Then you can get the path values of any of the contents from the Metadata.path_lower value for the entry in the result.
