You only don't have this directory because you have:

> drwx------ 1 root          root           140 Mar  5 20:50 NetworkManager

running your network, not iwd. As for /etc/wpa_supplicant/, NM lists
it as a dependency. I don't whether NM is scriptable, for passing in
a password, or not: I've never used it.
