NO they are not Global. They are the default (template).

Once you convert, you can override on a per book (That screen at the beginning of the convert), THOSE will be saved with the books metadata for future use. (there is a button/tick) on the conversion dialog to clear previous settings and pull the current defaults.
IMHO Kovid did some brilliant application structuring that allows overrides from the as shipped or base settings.
