The assets folder in this particular case is located in the same directory as the file where the import statement. What the dot before /assets means is precisely that. This is not exclusive of React Native, but the system for traversing the directory tree in a filesystem in a Unix system (It works on Windows systems as well for this particular case). You can also do '..' to refer to the upper level in the hierarchy, or '~' to point to your home directory (usually not needed in your case).

So, specifically to this case, your structure should look like this:

myProjectRootFolder
| myFileWithImportStatement.js
| assets
| | flag-ping.png
