This is done either by putting it into the indexTags or into the itemTags. The difference between these two is that an entry in indexTags also generates a menu entry (a folder) in the navigation structure, and an entry in itemTags does not. Is this correct?

Yes, except that I would say that the tag needs to be read from the file rather than being "initialised". Some control over this is needed because many audio files contain tags that should not be read by the server and it could cause problems if the server were to always read all tags in the file.

I am considering a change in the future where using a tag name in any property would automatically cause MinimServer to read the tag from the file. With this change, it would not be necessary to have the itemTags property.
