This is correct, but there is an omission in the core. Before reverting the  
Wiki3 permissions to 755, upload a single file. PmWiki will create the  
uploads/ directory and its subdirectories with the correct permissions.  
After a first file is upoaded, you can, and should, chmod the Wiki3  
permissions back to 755.

The upload.php script uses the core function mkdirp() which is primarily  
used to create the wiki.d directory and its subdirectories. The instructions  
you read are for it. I should think of a way to allow a custom error  
message.
