Yes, sounds right. When trying out Fedora I installed the fcitx5 tools, added some env vars and virtual keyboard settings and rebooted. Then I had CJK working on a virtual keyboard device.

It’s just very different from MacOS and Windows where you just add a keyboard layout and you’re done, that’s why I was curious. Admittedly I love the amount of customisation options on fcitx.

What about input method editors? Don't you need to install those on windows and macOS as well (unless you are happy with the method provided by OS)? Or are the third party input method editors less popular now? (I don't use any of the languages requiring them so I don't know how widely are they used at the moment).
