Yes, normal methods called from another thread are executed in that 
calling thread's context.

Don't assume, read the documentation instead. The default mode is Auto. 
That means that if the two objects are in the same thread, the 
connection will be direct, and if they are in different threads, it will 
be queued.

But... if you want to know if that code runs in another thread, then why 
don't just test it? You can see in your process monitor what threads are 
created, or you can simply send the QObject::thread value to the debug 
output and compare it to the GUI's thread value, or...
