Lib directory and dependencies

I've just created a Hibernate Java Project and I see that IntelliJ Idea creates a lib directory with some usefull jars inside and a src directory to write your code.
When I tried to connect to my local mysql database IntelliJ downloaded the mysql-connector-java-5.1.22-bin.jar and I've told it to place it in this lib directory.
When I tried to use this driver in my hibernate.cfg.xml IntelliJ Idea couldn't find a class I wanted and the problem solved only when I manually declared this jar as a module dependency.
What exactly does this declaration does?
Does it extract the jar file somewhere?
Thank you.

JDBC driver jar is required on runtime by your app so you may simply add it as Runtime dependency.
Data source configuration is a separate thing so the downloaded driver is not automatically added to the project dependencies.
