I didn't find anywhere in the man page anything about what systemd does when all options are commented out, but it appears to behave as "volatile", which does create the directory in ||/run/log/journal if needed.
The options commented out in the config file are supposed to be precisely the default values. Thus default storage=auto. It is not in the man page, it is documented in the config file: # Entries in this file show the compile time defaults. # You can change settings by editing this file. # Defaults can be restored by simply deleting this file.

Interesting. I have two vanilla Leap42x+KDE systems, one of each, and neither has a /var/log/journal.
If I remember correctly, there is an rpm that creates the persistent journal. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)
