No, you don't need to configure anything.

The elaborate answer:
To quote from winxi's post
"When starting the package, it extracts the name(s) of the MinimServer content directory(ies) from the MinimServer config file and establishes watches for this(ese) directory(ies)."
I just tested it again and could clearly see the notice
"Media server status for MinimServer[synobox]: Restarting" on the MinimServer's status page on the Synology box.

After that, it takes quite a while before I can see the new content within the "MediaPlayer" I tested it on (BubbleUPnP on Android, and some UPnP aware radios). I even had the impression, that I had to choose a different media server and return to the original one before the new content was being picked up.
I had hoped for so long, MinimServer would be enbabled to to trigger a rescan on a subfolder via some API. ....

Since winxi's package does parse the MinimServer's config file, the version of the MinimSever installed might be important. Maybe, it's format might have changed in more recent versions.
(The AutoRescan spk [Synology Package] is nothing else than a normal tar which can be looked into and within the script folder you'll find the start-stop-status script containing something like `CONTENT_DIRS=$(cat $MINIM_CONFIG | grep contentDir` ...)
That means, the AutoRescan package should pick up the up the folder(s) it should install inotify watches on.
I for myself will stick to version 0.8.x (which I had donated for in the past) on which this all works on, even though not as smooth as I would like too.
