Confusion is not only yours, many consider that all stuff on 
http://download.opensuse.org/ is offical, but actualy directories 
[DIR] debug/                    
[DIR] distribution/           
[DIR] factory/                
[DIR] source/                 
[DIR] update/                 
contain openSUSE officaly supported stuff.

While all in:
[DIR] repositories/
is not offical, like listed below:

[etc]

The fact that KDE stuff in http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE: is 
created mostly by guys that work for Novell/SUSE can give you confidence that 
it will work without major breakages, but that doesn't make it official.
