It should be. You can use the usual Python ways to create the required QPyDesignerCustomWidgetPlugin types dynamically from the configuration files.

The PyQt designer plugin code imports modules in standard locations then looks in those modules for the required types and creates instances of those types.

All you need to do in that module, when it is imported, is create the types and put them in the module dict so that they can be found later.
