A question about events (the wait action)

With this code I expected I would see this:

Wait 0.1 second.

Create sprite.

Wait 0.1 second.

Create sprite.

(8 more after this)

But what happened was:

0.1 second delay and all 10 sprites were created at the same time.

So my conclusion is that the "wait"-action is seperated from the actions and from loops? Am I correct?

Or to ask it in a different way: why did I not see my expected result?
