It is not about icon loading, so no.

Installing icons in the right places is a good generic task that
everybody[tm] needs.

There is also nothing about KDE's icon scheme in it, except maybe the
two words crystal and oxygen.

The rest is (supposedly) adhering to the icon naming spec.  including
the word hicolor.

In general, apps should install icons into a app specific directory in
hicolor and then let the more specialized icon themes override them as
needed.
