Shared folders are not a feature of IMAP specifically.  They may be a feature 
of your mail server.  To the extent that your mail server exposes them via 
IMAP, OfflineIMAP should support them.  You may need to consult your mail 
server documentation for information on how to access such folders via IMAP.

If you look at RFC2060, you will see no mention of shared folders.  You may 
need to look at the "reference" option of offlineimap.conf, but this is only 
a guess.  Different servers may do this differently.
