I thought if I create an account everywhere in the lemmy universe, it’s valid for every lemmy page (like lemmy.world or lemmy.ml).
Apparently this is wrong. Do I have to create an account there again if I want to post there?

nope, accounts do not automatically allow login to whatever other instances there are, you can access information, accounts, threads, magazines, comments, photos, posts, whatever on any and all fediverse instances which are federated with the instance that you’ve joined, but you will not be able to log into other instances with your account, and you will not be able to see any content which is on an instance which has been defederated by your instance, which is why it’s advisable to join a major popular well inhabited well moderated instance so you will have the most choice of content. should you join a rogue instance which posts porn, gore, and hate, you’re gonna find yourself unable to browse most of the content across the fediverse since your instance will have been defederated by many if not most other instances.
a global mobile fediverse account, would negate this instance centric design
