My domain knowledge is weak, I'm still pretty sure it doesn't work that way. "Many worlds" is just a cute name; there aren't really new worlds appearing from nowhere. Rather, reality is fundamentally made out of this wavefunction-thingy, and from our perspective it looks like "worlds" "branching."
(EDIT: quotation truncated for relevance)

Right, I phrased that poorly. From our perspective it looks like objective probability, and it's pedagogically useful to speak of the different possible outcomes happening in different "worlds."
