yes, -N1 only checks the main config file, not anything included from it.

-N2 checks the main config file and things included from it.

-N3 checks the main config file, the things included from it, and the
things included from them

etc

so if you are doing things in /etc/rsyslog.conf.d you need to check at
least -N2

At this point, I'm not sure how much value this feature really has,
especially compared to the confusion that it causes. It may make sense to
have the -N ignore the number and just go through checking all the way
down.
