Yes. During your test, the name of that directory is given by the
environment variable AUTOPKGTEST_ARTIFACTS.

You cannot predict it ahead of time. The specification is that you need
to read the environment variable AUTOPKGTEST_ARTIFACTS during testing
to find out what the correct location is for this particular test run.
If you're running an upstream test suite that writes out artifacts in
some location of its choice, you can wrap it in a shell script (or a
Perl or Python script or whatever you prefer) that copies the upstream
test suite's artifacts from that location into $AUTOPKGTEST_ARTIFACTS
(for example see debian/tests/upstream-runtime-tests in the keyutils
source package).
Or if you're running a tool or an upstream test suite that can be told
to write logs or other artifacts to a particular location, you can wrap
it in a script that tells it to put artifacts in $AUTOPKGTEST_ARTIFACTS
(for example see debian/tests/installed-tests in the gtk4 source package).
