There are arguments both ways. The source item reference mechanism in Xcode is incredibly flexible, but that comes at the cost of being complex and confusing. To hide this, Xcode uses defaults which essentially eschew physical subsfolders.
I, personally, would like to see Xcode pay a little more attention to the file organization in the filesytem. I've filed enhancement requests for
- The ability to create a subgroup AND a matching subfolder at the same time.
- The ability to move a referenced source file from one folder to another when the item that references it is dragged from one source folder to another (and issue the correct SCM rename commands to match).
The latter feature would make reorganizing projects much easier, but even I admit that there are lots of thorny UI issues and edge conditions that could make a feature like this more confusing than helpful.

Unless you have your project under source control, or have been busy editing the attributes of your source item (changing things in the Get Info window of the individual source items/groups), you probably don't have anything to worry about.
And for those that worry, there are backups....
