Yes, icons used by applications distributed with KDE should be in
crystalsvg.  However there's an exception for the icons for the
applications themselves as used in .desktop files which appear in the
k-menu, these need to be found by other desktops for use in their
application menus, so they need to be in hicolour which all desktop
environments know to look in.

Yes that correct.  Except for icons used in the application's XDG
.desktop menu files, which need to be in hicolour.
