The one as defined by InternetConfig? Granted, Apple rolled InternetConfig
into LaunchServices and then virtually stopped providing a UI to it. But
AFAIK it still works the same. InternetConfig/LaunchServices aware apps pick
up the default downloads folder that is defined in
InternetConfig/LaunchServices.

Unless I'm mistaken, yes, the folder you define for downloads through Safari
gets set as a default downloads location which other apps should pick up on.
(But of course those other apps should allow you to define a different
location, so there's no guarantee that the default downloads folder will be
used by every app on any Mac.)
