Yes. In miktex it can find fonts in your texmf-trees, and also in
the fonts folder of acrobat. And you can add more folders. The
details are in fonts.conf and localfonts.conf in
<UserConfig>/fontconfig/config.

Add \XeTeXtracingfonts=1 at the start of your document. This should
give you pathes like this in the log-file:

Requested font "Arial" at 10.0pt
 -> C:/WINDOWS/Fonts/arial.ttf
