You need to know what IMAP daemon you use. Is it Dovecot or Cyrus or
Curier etc. pp.

You can do that on every Linux if you configured the mailbox format to
be "Maildir" -> every mail is a file on the filesystem
Configuring a mailsystem for internet usage requires some knowledge
about DNS, DKIM signing etc.
I don't recommend you to run such a system (for a company) with your
knowledge base.
You may take a look at Mailcow[1] - this is a finished configured
mailsystem.

Didn't had yet time to go into details and to test.
Just to be OK on the headlines, you say that:
- if I go "S" + "L" + set non empty path (/home/user/mail) in the list
- IMAP will "initialize" mails from the server to the local
/home/user/mail directory
- Then from alpine I can create a folder and move a mail into it
- Then (when I quit alpine ?) the folder and moved mail will be
replicated on the IMAP server
Correct ?

This is the mailing-list of the Alpine Linux distribution, not the
Alpine mail user agent program. I do not know about Alpine MUA.

But i would say it allows to freely assign key bindings as all
others do, so knowing about the actual functions would be an
improvement.

I have no idea what you are talking about.
In general the IMAP server usually "is" the mailbox, and is
accessed, an internet connection provided, as if it is a local
mailbox. MUAs download parts of the messages as you are looking
at them, some have local caches to keep that data around.
|- Then from alpine I can create a folder and move a mail into it
If it can the former, you can simply access the IMAP mailbox as if
it would be a local folder.

That is hard to believe, but like i have said, i do not know about
Alpine. But automatic replication in between a regular local
mailbox and an IMAP mailbox somewhere else usually requires
special software, which (i would say) just compares folder
contents and performs synchronization, then.
