Yes, copies of the metadata of all VGs sit in /etc/lvmtab.d/ to be accessed by the tools for performamce reasons. /etc/lvmconf/ contains archives of the metadata with a default history depth of 10. IOW: you can backout 10 levels in case configuration changes go wrong presuming that you didn't write data to changed LVs potentially overwriting extents previously allocated to other LVs.
