Yes.

Can you please point me to the code where Qemu's backend virtio driver is taking the SGE from the virt ring descriptor after it gets a notification from the guest and converting it to a qemu virtual address before calling "read or write" system calls.

It's in hw/virtio.c, see virtqueue_pop().
virtio-blk.c will issue the actual read or write (via
bdrv_aio_{read,write}v()).
