Is it possible that this happened because the owner's Dopbox account was deleted or deactivated? If the owner deletes her account, does the entire shared folder disappear for all collaborators as well?

Yes it does. 

Because when an account is deleted all the data within that account is also deleted and therefore shares etc. are gone.
