No; check src/udev/udev-rules.c, udev_rules_new(), which starts at 1578:
rules->dirs = strv_new("/etc/udev/rules.d",
"/run/udev/rules.d",
"/usr/lib/rules.d",
"/lib/rules.d",
UDEVLIBEXECDIR "/rules.d",
NULL);
/etc/udev/rules.d has always been the first dir scanned for rules
(which means the rules in /etc will override any other rule), and as
far as I know nobody has ever suggested to move or change that.
