Yes, the pleat could be done a variety of ways. If you look at any box-style pillow pattern, it typically uses a bit of a narrow piping where the side & top panels join for strength. I will post a couple of pics if I can find some. The depth of the "sides" of the pillow pocket could vary depending on the size of what you are tucking in.
BTW, after I watched several you-tube videos on folding the quillows, I think I prefer those that fold in thirds first...then turn the pillow pocket rightside out, before making the final folds & tucking in. Less stress on those side seams of the pillow pocket.
