No, it does not seem to work either via the examples app or from the 
command line.  In fact, unless I set PYTHONPATH to something else, 
Designer won't even open (so example app doesn't open Designer at all).  
I looked for the widgets in the list and also for entries under the 
listing of pyqt5.dll in the dialog under help and neither


   C:\Users\IEUser>set 
PYQTDESIGNERPATH=c:\python34\lib\site-packages\PyQt5\examples\designer\plugins\python

   C:\Users\IEUser>set 
PYTHONPATH=c:\python34\lib\site-packages\PyQt5\examples\designer\plugins\widgets

   C:\Users\IEUser>designer
<no output nor designer window>

   C:\Users\IEUser>set 
PYTHONPATH=c:\python34\lib\site-packages\PyQt5\examples\designer\plugins\widget

   C:\Users\IEUser>designer

   C:\Users\IEUser>
<no output but designer window comes up>


I'm bringing up a fresh virtual machine (modern.ie Vagrant/Win10/Edge 
x64) and will install Python 3.4.4 and PyQt 5.5.1 (both x32).  I will 
let you know the results there.
