Yes, that's the default location for the addressbook called "Personal 
Contacts".
I am on a very old KDE setup, upgraded through the years, so my addressbook is 
still $HOME/.kde/share/config/kabc/std.vcf

You'll either have to ask on a Kubuntu list or provide version numbers that 
have any meaning in the context of KDE PIM.

The most likely location, if it isn't $HOME/.local/share/contacts is 
$KDEHOME/share/apps/kabc, where $KDEHOME is usually $HOME/.kde if the variable 
is not set.
Check
kde4-config --localprefix

Cheers,
Kevin
