And what happens if I set this option but don't import JPEG also? 
Will then automatically a jpeg be created?

Yes: Shotwell will extract the embedded preview JPEG from the RAW photo and store it in a file whose name ends with _embedded.jpg.

It would be nice if Shotwell could read the embedded JPEG from the photo directly without needing to store it in a separate file:
