definitely on the right track, imho ... and perhaps by creating a small set of 
components it can become more succinct and reliable like:

import org.kde.plasma.configuration as PlasmaConfiguration

PlasmaConfiguration.ModuleModel {
     modules: [
          PlasmaConfiguration.Page {
              name: i18n("General")
              icon: "plasma"
              component: MyComponentInAnotherFile
          },
	  ....
     ]
}
