It is for TCG but for other accelerators there will be different
handling (although I'm fairly sure only x86 and aarch64 are currently
plumbed to use the CPUs hbreak bits on KVM).

However this particular script was a very early addition when I was
testing stuff manually with images I'd built on my system. If we want to
exercise the gdbstub for accelerators it might be better porting the
test to avocado?
