Yes, that's the correct component.

This time, I read the C code - here's the story, for the record, as I
understand it.

AT-SPI 2 core makes a function call over DBus (i.e., it sends out a DBus
message to the application), which is handled in the ATK to AT-SPI bridge that
runs as part of the application or desktop component. The bridge then calls a
function in the ATK library that returns the localized role name. It uses
dgettext() to get the localized string (see the gettext(3) manual page for
details).

So the localized messages are in ATK.
