The .config file that you used to compile the running kernel is the one that
matches the running kernel. If you *just now* compiled the kernel in that
directory, and *just now* installed it, and didn't move anything .config
files around after that, then yes, that file will represent the
configuration of your new kernel.

But the kernel doesn't know anything about the configuration file that was
used to create it, so it's up to you to keep a copy of the configuration
around for each kernel if you want to refer to it. A common practice is to
copy the configuration for your running kernel to /boot/config for this
purpose.
