The point of the libvirt-guests service is to make sure that guests are
in a safe state before allowing the host to shutdown. Personally, I
like the ON_SHUTDOWN=suspend action, because when I next reboot, the
guests automatically pick up running where they last left off (modulo
incorrect times, depending on clock policy and guest tolerance to big
gaps in clock ticks); but yes, ON_SHUTDOWN=shutdown will hold the host
from shutting down until either all guests complete shutdown or until
timeouts expire (remember, graceful guest shutdown requires guest
cooperation, and not all guests cooperate).

No, that's not the file you want to edit. Instead, figure out what file
gets sourced a few lines later. On my Fedora machine,
/usr/libexec/libvirt-guests.sh contains:
sysconfdir="/etc"
...
test -f "$sysconfdir"/sysconfig/libvirt-guests &&
. "$sysconfdir"/sysconfig/libvirt-guests
so my modifications would be to /etc/sysconfig/libvirt-guests.
