Fine.

'snmptrapd.conf' is concerned with the behaviour of 'snmptrapd' - the
trap *receiver*.
So this would need to be set up on the destination system, where the
manager is running.

That's assuming that you're using 'snmptrapd'  to receive the traps.
If you've got a different SNMP manager, then you probably don't need
snmptrapd.conf at all.

Yes.
But not "as well" - this is the only place where it's needed.
