That is the general idea.  It's part of the system bootloader, and
different OSs put their bits in there.

You'll find your Linux kernels and their configs directly in: /boot
That's where your OS expects to find them.

Deeper inside /boot/efi are the bits for booting it them.  On my
systems it's peculiarly double-nested (an EFI inside an efi).

 /boot/efi/EFI/BOOT/     (efi files)
 /boot/efi/EFI/centos/   (for booting centos)

And on another PC:

 /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/   (for booting fedora)
 /boot/efi/EFI/System/   (efi files)

There are plenty of other things in some of those directories too,
which I'm sure will make multibooting fun, as they all have different
ideas about what to shovel in.  You'll have extra fun if there's two
releases of Fedora installed on your system, as by default they'll just
be called Fedora (not Fedora 35 or Fedora 36, for example).

I don't do multibooting any more, and I don't have Windows to see what
it would put there.
