If it were true, yes. It isn't.

There is a Keyboard spoke you can enter and add any number of keyboard
layouts you like, in any order of preference, and configure any key
combination you like for switching between them. (Layout switching at
the console does not work like X layout switching, and may need some
special-casing in langtable following the xkb-to-kbd conversion, but
that's kind of a separate topic).

Um. /etc/X11 will usually exist in an F20 install. If, for some reason,
it doesn't, you can create it, and configuration in the appropriate
places within it will work fine. And nothing in /etc/X11 has ever been
relevant to console layout configuration in any case.
