No you don't. In fact you don't need to create the mailboxes by hand - 
the first time your users dial in to the Voicemail application * will 
create the mailboxes for them, based on entries in voicemail.conf

As for the busy and unavailable messages, the user can create those by 
dialing in to the Voicemail application and selecting the appropriate 
menu option:

Press 0 at the main menu
   Press 1 - record unavailable message
   Press 2 - record busy message
   Press 3 - record user's name
