You're right, a movie is only 'recognised' if it's in a folder inside one of the 'added' movie folders, 'Put movies in folders' should help you put movies that aren't' in a folder yet into a recognisable structure.
So you've already found the automatic way to folderize a movie collection, the 'put movies in folders' option.
Once you run it, it should start recognising the movies that weren't in folders before.
The "Keep Media Folders Organized" option is to automagically 'rename' folders while scraping for information, based on the renaming pattern inside the preferences, and the movie name and/or other metadata.
It will only apply on new movies that are added, it won't change any existing movies until after you fetch/update information for an item, it's basically doing the same as the 'Tools' > 'batch rename' option, but for during fetching information, or while editing metadata, so you don't have to run the 'batch rename' option every time you want to keep your folder/movie files named pretty.
