It is not. For qemu/kvm case, you have to tell it explicitly where
(on which port) to listen. This has always been the case. So you
either told qemu-kvm directly to use port 5901, or configured it
using libvirt. For krbf it is the most logical port to listen on,
but I can't comment on it since I know nothing about it.

And? When I don't configure something, I don't see it. When
I do, I do see it. That's magic right?

Ssh has exactly nothing to do with these "connections", and it will not do
anything with them.
