Not exactly. The files in the ldraw\p\48 directory are all based on a
48-faceted approximation of a circle. The regular primitives in ldraw\p are all
based on 16-facets.
Just because a file is in one directory does not mean a corresponding version of
that file will exist in the other directory.

Yes, directory names are allowed. In files in the parts library, the only
allowed directory names are 48\ and s\.

You shouldn't need to do that, although it would turn all geometrics into
'hi-res' references.
