No it doesn't.  xorgcfg actually defaults to writing xorg.conf to some 
subdirectory of /usr/X11R6/lib/X11 or some such nowadays rather than 
/etc/X11.  You can see that path when you ask it to save the 
configuration.  Probably the docs need to be updated to include the 
other more cryptic path as another place to look besides /etc/X11.
