No, it's different to making the folder bold.
The folder title being bold is determined by whether there are any
unread messages in the folder, even if the folder has been visited. The
asterisk in the folder icon appears if messages have arrived since the
folder was last opened.
Some examples below (and sorry for the HTML mail!).  My spam folder

Spam folder after visiting, but not reading anything:

So you can see if messages have arrived without remembering how many
unread messages you had previously.P.
