Correct, you will generally need to have an idea in your head for an overall structure. Sometimes you can just experiment, too, and find inspiration through recording random ideas, and all of a sudden stumble onto something.

Some people have an easier time with this than others. Since jazz in general involves a lot of playing by ear, it comes a bit more naturally for me, but I generally find that people with more "rigid" styles of playing have a bit more difficulty with arranging. So don't be afraid to "loosen up" a little bit if this is something you initially struggle with, it gets easier with time.
