It depends on what NM version and distribution you use.

NetworkManager 0.8.x can store configuration either in  GConf (or another 
client specific storage) for user connections and by NetworkManager to 
/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections or to distro-specific files.

NM 0.9 dismissed user connections, so GConf is not used anymore.

Of course, you can use D-Bus API to create connections. See some examples 
here:
