No, xorg.conf just configures the way that the X server talks to the video/screen/keyboard/mouse. It does NOT effect the way other X applications run. In fact you can be on a machine w/ X running and ssh into another machine w/o an X server and still run X programs. They will open their windows on your local machine even though they are running on the remote machine.
