As with much of Gimp it depends. Gimp version and distro. An Ubuntu 18.10 (VM) and all works as expected. The gimp package contains the file-heif plugin and pulls in libheif as a dependency, which in turn pulls in libx265..and so on. see screenshots. However, I mostly use a kubuntu 16.04 and a Gimp 2.10.8 flatpak. The Gimp package also contains the file-heif plugin but the org.gnome.runtime does not have those dependencies. I can add those, the file-heif plugin now opens heif files but crashes on export. Solution for that is disable the built-in file-heif and add a separate heif-gimp-plugin as a replacement. There are other linux distros that work out-the-box, PClinuxOS Gimp 2.10.8 for example, but I have no knowledge of Fedora so can not comment. For say, Gimp 2.8.22 (kubuntu 16.04) then all needs adding, heif-gimp-plugin plus the dependencies.
