Yes, exactly.  This is covered in docs/misc/xenstore.txt:

  Values commonly included in payloads include:

      <path>
          Specifies a path in the hierarchical key structure.
          If <path> starts with a / it simply represents that path.

          <path> is allowed not to start with /, in which case the
          caller must be a domain (rather than connected via a socket)
          and the path is taken to be relative to /local/domain/<domid>
          (eg, `x/y' sent by domain 3 would mean `/local/domain/3/x/y').

Ian.
