Yes.  Kde5 looks in a number of places for its settings, including both 
user and system locations.  The user locations are probably going to be 
in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME, which (from memory, mine is customized and I don't 
want to look it up ATM) defaults to ~/.config/share/.  The system 
location(s) normally default to XDG_CONFIG_SYSTEM (again, from memory, 
something close tho), which in turn defaults to /usr/share/.

Some distros change these defaults, however.

See the freedesktop.org common desktop specifications for more.
