No. See
:help VIMRUNTIME
:help rtp
Note that I'm using the short form 'rtp' instead of 'runtimepath'
because it's easier to type.

That would display the value of the environment variable
runtimepath, if there was one.

There are several ways to add a component to 'runtimepath',
including:
:set rtp+=~/.vim
:let &rtp .= ',~/.vim'
See
:help set+=
:help let-&
However, your 'runtimepath' should already include ~/.vim, so there
should be no need to add it. Note also that there is no trailing
slash needed. Also, depending on what you're trying to achieve, you
may need or want to put your additional directory first in the
'runtimepath' rather than last, e.g.,
:let &rtp = '~/.vim,' . &rtp
If you want to add .vim/xpt to your 'runtimepath', you could do
this:
:set rtp+=~/.vim/xpt
