Correct.

It is using it because at the time the scheduler was defined (or perhaps
subsequently updated), the error log and schedule log parameters for the
scheduler were specified by the user:
dsmcutil install /name:"Dogwood TSM Scheduler" ... /errorlog:f:\tsmlogs
\dsmerror.log /schedlog:f:\tsmlogs\dsmsched.log
The "dsmcutil query" output tells you this, that the scheduler was
explicitly defined to use those log files.
And yes, the scheduler definition is in the registry along with various
parameters for that scheduler, in "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services
\Dogwood TSM Scheduler"
Regarding the missing system writer: this is a Microsft Windows issue, you
will find that we tooks steps to call this out via an APAR code change.
