Isn’t the correct answer “yes” for every single file under that directory?
If it were otherwise, you’d have services continually restarting to look for
updated settings. Then because of all the resulting inadvertent lock-outs and
other failures, you’d have big block comments at the top of those files telling
you not to save the file until you’re sure you want those settings applied
immediately.
If you’re trying to entirely disable SELinux with this change, you’ll have to
reboot. If you’re changing between enforcing and permissive, there are commands
for that:
