Not quite, no.  xorg.conf is the configuration file for xorg-server.  It 
can do a lot more than just identify input devices.

Option "AutoAddDevices" "Off" tells xorg-server: even if hal is present 
and running, don't use it to detect input devices.

AFAIK, hal is not used by xorg-server for anything else.  All other 
autoconfig (video card detection, monitor detection, it even has its own 
built-in input device detection) is done by the xorg server itself.
