Yes. I tested and found that this wasn't currently the case; I imagine we can always amend if it turns out to be so later. I suspect dotfiles/dotdirs are less likely now that people aren't having to hide these kinds of directories inside /dev; the current trend for entries in /run seems to be to just leave them out in the open since there's no real reason not to.
