Yes, this is the right place.

As an experiment, I put the KGothic MB101.ttf into the fonts folder of my Touch. However, I did not invalidate the preinstalled fonts Gothic MB101 and the Ryumin. Since I have now installed two fonts with the same name Gothic MB101, one can expect some conflict.
And actually this situation leads to an interesting behaviour of the reader. If I set the user language to Japanese, the menus and so on are displayed in the original Gothic MB101, but as soon as I open a Japanese book (not sure whether this matters, but all my Japanese books are kepub.epub) the menus and so on are displayed in the newly installed Gothic MB101 (KGothic MB101.ttf), and this does not change if I open an English book. But if I power the device off and on, the menus are again displayed in the original Gothic MB101 (until I open a Japanese book).

In the font selection menu only one Gothic MB101 is listed. If I select it, KGothic MB101.ttf becomes active.

I am not sure what conclusions one can draw from this and how this can help you. But maybe it gives somebody a clue to a solution.

One thing, I would try to do is actually replacing the pre-installed Gothic MB101 by the new one. I see two ways to do this. The first is to get an otf version of the KGothic MB101.tff, rename it to Gothic MB101.otf and install it with the help of a KoboRoot.tgz. The other way is, to delete the Gothic MB101.otf and copy the KGothic MB101.tff to its place, which would involve running a script on the reader or using telnet.
