Yes. You can do it with netrw:
:edit .
d
Type directory name
You may get an error, but the directory is created. Anyway, much easier is to copy your .vim folder from your Mac using iTunes. For more about moving files into and from iVim, see `:help ios-share`. For iOS-specific information, see `:help ios`. You may long-tap with one finger to hide/show the extended keys above the keyboard and long-tap with two fingers to hide the keyboard (type with one finger to show it again): this will make more room for reading. Use two fingers to scroll.
For plugins, pure VimScript plugins should generally work (but keep in mind that iVim is based on Vim 7.4). If a plugin requires Python, Perl or Ruby then you're out of luck.

In /private/var/mobile/Containers/Data/Application/APP-ID/Documents. Use :lcd to see the full path.
You may access your sandboxed directory with netrw as above:
:edit .
:Rex (to exit netrw)
See :help netrw for more information (only a subset of netrw functionality is working in iVim).
Life.
