Yes. I wrote about that:

AppData is just a new (but very good) source to provide data for the
AppStream generator.

The case of installing Plasmoids would actually be handled by
something like Listaller (but I think even for that it would be out of
scope, since plasmapkg already exists - this might make some sense to
implement it in KDE software-centers only and enhance the AppStream
data with an application type (like type="plasmoid"))
