No. virttest is installed in your python site-packages directory.

/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/virttest/
/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/virttest/libvirt_xml/vm_xml.py
/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/virttest/libvirt_xml/devices/hostdev.py

2. When I run `avocado list --vt-type qemu` I see list of tests for qemu

The problem is exactly as the error message says. Due to the fact that
libvirt forces nettype 'bridge', you can't list libvirt tests as a regular
user.
