I have no clue how it works

Right you may have got a bit confused.
The best bet is to set up SMB.
ON the imac goto system prefrences and sharing, in advanced turn on SMB. Back in sharing click add for the folders to share and navigate to the folders with your media in.
INstall XBMC on the macbook.
On the mac book in videos section click add source, then browse, then scroll to windows network. Select this, then select 'WorkGroup' your imac will now appear select it and the folders you asked to share will now appear.
Once they are in back in videos select one of the folders and press c, then set content, set the content for them and scan them into the macbook.
Your mac book will now have the content. Obviously as its streaming the imac needs to be on in order for it to work.

Would be quite hard to stream if the iMac is turned off, but hey, you can always try, might work in some magical way oO
