Not quite. In fact, the notation is remarkably flexible.

t2 = [[[[t]]],[[[t]]]]

% Only eight levels of variable concatenation are allowed.

As you can see, there is a limit. For three or fewer
dimensions, the rule seems to be that if the number of
outermost brackets in a row is 1, the arrays are
concatenated in X; if 2, they are concatenated in Y; and
if 3, they are concatenated in Z. Consider this further
example:
IDL> x = indgen(10)
IDL> help, [[[x]],[[x]],[[x]]]
<Expression> INT = Array[10, 1, 3]
YMMV, but I like it, myself.
