No, for your local changes you want to put this in rc.local.  (The
entire rc.* set of scripts are started by a program called init, which
in turn spawns /etc/rc - the closest we have to autoexec.bat and
config.sys.  However, you very seldom will need to modify rc - and
don't do that until you know a lot more about the system than you seem
to do now.)
