A question about subvolumes

I have a disc formatted as btrfs, on which is mounted /home.

/home/bob is a regular directory.

/home/bob/Documents is a btrfs subvolume

/home is btrfs root

If I do

# mv /home/bob /home/bob_original
# btrfs subvolume create /home/bob
# mv /home/bob_original/* /home/bob/
# rm /home/bob_original

will the original subvolume /home/bob/Documents survive this
operation, and will it now exist as a subvolume under the new
subvolume /home/bob?

I realise it's best to create subvolumes progressively from the top of
the filesystem tree, but this system originated as an ext4fs which was
migrated to btrfs, and some sensible things got missed in all the
excitement. ;-)
