Yes. I wrote about that: http://blog.tenstral.net/2013/11/appstream-clarifications.html AppData is just a new (but very good) source to provide data for the AppStream generator.
The case of installing Plasmoids would actually be handled by something like Listaller (but I think even for that it would be out of scope, since plasmapkg already exists - this might make some sense to implement it in KDE software-centers only and enhance the AppStream data with an application type (like type="plasmoid")) Cheers, Matthias
