No, you just create the .hgsub file and Mercurial maintains the .hgsubstate for you.

What are you using them for? Subrepos are generally considered a feature of last resort—a feature that is fully supported, but has significant tradeoffs in its use vs. normal Mercurial usage. You'll want to read the recommendations and caveats on the wiki: <https://www.mercurial-scm.org/wiki/Subrepository#Recommendations>
