Sort of.
The kernel line in domU config file specifies what "program" would be
loaded/executed initially in domU. This can be a PV kernel (like in
your debian example), hvmloader (in HVM domU), or a bootloader (like
pv-grub). Depending on what the kernel is, it might in turn use a
kernel inside domU (like in the case of hvmloader or pv-grub).

virt-install can be used to create Centos domUs.
There's also yum, which can function like debootstrap.
