Nope, Gimp remains a RGB editor. You can already proof your work with a cmyk profile and also export as a cmyk file (jpeg / tiff / psd) using the CYAN plugin. The new feature just brings a little more convenience into Gimp.
Keep your eye open for Gimp 2.10.34 it is due soon and I think might have that feature (or not)
Although there is provision in the SVG 1.2 spec for cmyk it is still essentially a RGB format. That is what you get.
There are CMYK PDF's, not from Gimp though. The DTP program Scribus can make them and so can ImageMagick. For IM, you have to provide cmyk.icc profile in the path, otherwise very straight forward. AFAIK the svg is flattened to a raster during the conversion.
Code:
magick rgb-cmy.svg -colorspace cmyk -profile cmyk.icc out.pdfThose two files attached, you can see the typical muted colours in the PDF
You can check a PDF with magick identify filename.ext for properties.
