Yes, every application should have (from the point of the compositor) one window, and that basically is one fullscreen QQuickView (or QWindow, as QQuickView is subclassed from QWindow).

In Sailfish Silica, you can have multiple “Page” elements which are basically “windows” inside the main window. That’s the native UI paradigm here, not multiple windows. You can use the page stack to push and pop windows (or pop’ing of windows can also happen by the user swiping back or tapping back):
