Style properties come from the gtkrc file, yes.

So for instance, I can set the 
"GtkScrollbar::has_secondary_backward_stepper" style property like so:
 style "scrollbar" {
     GtkScrollbar::has_secondary_backward_stepper = 1
 }
 class "GtkScrollbar" style "scrollbar"

So, yes they should be documented.
