I guess this is due to the FUSE Implementation of it. But when i download Music, Videos, Pictures, whatever in Android Apps, they cant be accessed by the Jolla system.
I had to write an bash-script to pull out the informations of the Android Storage, but i'd guess that wont be a proper solution for a lot of people.

No I think it's because android support folders are not indexed by Tracker process. You can add them to the tracker process and they will appear in the gallery
Look at this thread.
I tried adding them to the tracker, no Change at all. Neither Media Player, nor Gallery Display any Music nor Images.
And why should SD Cards (i mounted mine by Hand in /home/nemo/sd) get indexed automatically?
My SD Card only gets indexed when it is mounted in /home/nemo/, if i Mount it somewhere else, nothing happens.
So i think that the home Directory gets indeed automatically and there is some technical Limitation with the Android_storage

That does not seem to be correct. I can view any downloaded files (including pictures, music, PDF etc) with native Jolla apps without pulling them from android_storage. This is how android_storage folder looks from File Browser (which is a native Sailfish application):
As you can see, the contents of android_storage folder can be accessed by Jolla system. The only problem is that the player/gallery don't find music/image files which are in this folder, but it's obviously some bug of the indexer, as @drummer12 suggested.
EDIT 30.06.2015: actually I was wrong, I've checked my Jolla right now and even apps like gallery and player have access to android_storage. I tested the access with these 4 apps:
I guess the bottom line here is that nothing described by OP is applicable to my phone.
You have to differentiate between native apps and native file picker. For sure File Browser shows all files, cause it has root access. Normal Apps can only access the indexed files. As you can check try to upload something with native browser for example in an answer here or something else...
