It's `~/.gnupg/gpg.conf' these days (as of version 1.1.92), but yes.
However, PGG does also include support to retrieve keys itself:

,----[ C-h v pgg-query-keyserver ]
| pgg-query-keyserver's value is nil
| 
| Documentation:
| Whether PGG queries keyservers for missing keys when verifying messages.
`----

Does this exist for OpenPGP implementations which do not support
automated key-retrieval, or is there some good reason to have PGG do
it instead of the OpenPGP tool?

They were all, one might say, nonexistent, but each
non-existed in an entirely different way.
